Description

An augmented Broström repair with nonabsorbable suture tape has demonstrated strength and stiffness more similar to the native anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) compared to Broström repair alone at the time of repair in cadaveric models for the treatment of lateral ankle instability. The study purpose was to compare minimum 2-year patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following treatment of ATFL injuries with Broström repair with vs without suture tape augmentation.   In conclusion, at median 5 years, patients treated for ATFL injury of the lateral ankle with Broström repair with suture tape augmentation demonstrated similar patient-reported outcomes to those treated with Broström repair alone.   Click here to read the article.
