Although patients with acute lateral ankle ligament injury are often managed successfully with conservative treatment, approximately 20%-40% will go on developing symptomatic chronic recurrent lateral ankle instability. Several procedures have been introduced to address these patients including open or arthroscopic techniques, the most common of which is the BrostrÖm procedure. The aim of this study was to describe a new outside-in arthroscopic BrostrÖm procedure and its results for treating patients with chronic lateral ankle instability.Methods:Of the 32 patients that were treated, 18 males and 14 females, and aged from 15~57 years (mean 27.8 years).
