The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the intermediate-term
outcomes after revision anatomical ankle ligament reconstruction
augmented with suture tape for a failed modified Broström procedure. A total of 30 patients with persistent instability of the ankle
after a Broström procedure underwent revision augmented with suture
tape. Of these, 24 patients who were followed up for more than two
years were included in the study. There were 13 men and 11 women.
Their mean age was 31.8 years (23 to 44). The mean follow-up was 38.5
months (24 to 56) The clinical outcome was assessed using the Foot
and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) and the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure
(FAAM) score. The stability of the ankle was assessed using stress
radiographs.Aims
