Category:ArthroscopyIntroduction/Purpose:We introduced a new technique of all-arthroscopic anatomical anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) reconstruction using semitendinosus autografts.Methods:From June 2012 to June 2013, 28 patients with chronic ATFL rupture underwent arthroscopic anatomic reconstruction of the ATFL. They were divided into the Broström group (n = 16) and reconstruction group (n = 12). The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and visual analogue score (VAS) was recorded before the operation, 12 months after the operation and 30 months after the operation. Physical examination and radiographs were performed in follow-ups.Results:The patients had higher AOFAS score after the operation in both the Broströmgroup and the reconstruction group. 12 months after operation, the patients in the reconstruction group showed significantly higher AOFAS score and lower VAS score than those in the Broström group (P = 0.003 and 0.001, respectively), while the difference between the tw...
