Abstract

Many surgical procedures have been described for the treatment of chronic lateral instability of the ankle. Tenodesis procedures using peroneus brevis tendon is traditionally common among them. Recently, the modified Brostrom anatomic procedure, that is, tightening the stretched out lateral ligaments to restore their normal anatomy without the use of supplemental tissues and then suturing the lateral portion of the extensor retinaculum to the distal fibula over the ligament repair, has been gaining in popularity. We have reviewed 6 of 10 consecutive cases at an average of 17 months after modified Brostrom procedure. An excellent or good result was achieved in 5 cases, all of which had improved mechanical stability as measured radiographically. One case that had an unsatisfactory result was in patient who had had a previous Evans operation. So, we believed that the modified Brostrom procedure is an excellent treating method for chronic lateral instability of the ankle.
