Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament repair for chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) yields good clinical results. However, the healing process of the ligament after anatomical repair remains unclear. This study evaluated the functional and patient-based outcomes for CLAI patients who underwent arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament repair and the morphological condition of the repaired anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL). METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed 47 patients (50 ankles) who underwent arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament repair for CLAI (mean follow-up, 14 months). The Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot Ankle-Hindfoot (JSSF) scale score and the Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire (SAFE-Q) were assessed preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed preoperatively and at 6 and 12 months postoperatively to evaluate the ATFL. The functional and patient-based outcomes were compared between the group with repaired ATFLs and high signal intensity and the group with repaired ATFLs and low signal intensity. RESULTS:The mean JSSF score improved significantly from 72.3 ± 11.6 preoperation to 95.3 ± 5.4 at 12 months postoperation. The MRI findings at 12 months postoperation showed that each repaired ATFL had a linear band structure from the talar to the fibular attachment site, and 41 of 50 ankles (82%) had low signal intensity of the ligament. On the SAFE-Q, the social functioning scores at 12 months postoperation were significantly higher in the low signal intensity group than in the high signal intensity group. CONCLUSION:Arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament repair for CLAI yielded good functional and patient-based outcomes and restored the morphological condition of the ATFL. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:Level III, retrospective comparative study.
