【 摘 要 】

Category:Arthroscopy, SportsIntroduction/Purpose:The Broström is the most commonly used Lateral ligament repair for chronic instability, but there is growing evidence that a fairly large percentage will stretch out with time, resulting in recurrent instability. Due to the nature of the repair, rehabilitation is fairly slow, so as not to compromise the tissue during the maturation stage. Currently, the Internal Brace Ligament Augmentation Repair is an accepted augmentation method for management of a Broström procedure. However, to our knowledge, no formally collected outcome data on the procedure has been reported.Hypotheses Augmentation of the Broström repair with an Internal Brace would 1)allow accelerated rehabilitation and return to activity, 2)Will aid in long-term stability of the repair without a tendency to stretch out.Methods:Patients with lateral ankle instability repaired with a Broström and Internal Brace Augmentation were prospectively evaluated one-time post-operatively between 6 and 24 month...
