Results of an Accelerated Rehabilitation Program after Arthroscopic Broström Ankle Ligament Repair Augmented with an Arthroscopically Applied Suture Tape
Introduction/Purpose: The Broström-Gould is the gold standard in repair of the lateral ankle ligaments for chronic instability and arthroscopic Broström repairs have become increasingly popular with outcomes comparable to the open procedure. Despite demonstrated success, the arthroscopic Broström, like the open procedure, does not achieve the same mechanical strength as the intact native ankle ligaments…

Abstract: The modified Broström (MB) procedure has long been the mainstay for the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). Recently, suture tape (ST) has emerged as augmentation for this repair. The clinical benefit of such augmentation has yet to be fully established. The purpose of this study was to determine if ST augmentation provides…
Read MoreAnterior Talofibular Ligament Ruptures, part 1
Abstract: Background: The concept of utilizing nonabsorbable suture tape fixed directly to bone to augment Brostro ̈ m repairs of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) has been proposed. No biomechanical studies of this technique are available.Hypothesis: We hypothesized that suture tape augmentation alone and Brostro ̈ m repair with suture tape augmentation would have similar…
Read MoreRevision anatomical reconstruction of the lateral ligaments of the ankle augmented with suture tape for patients with a failed Broström procedure (2017)
Abstract: Aims: 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. Patients and methods: A total of 30 patients with persistent instability of the ankle after a Broström procedure underwent revision augmented with suture tape. Of…
Read MoreOutcomes of the Modified Broström Procedure Augmented With Suture-Tape for Ankle Instability in Patients With Generalized Ligamentous Laxity (2017)
Abstract: Background: Although recent biomechanical studies have reported mechanical superiority of augmented anterior talofibular ligament reconstruction using suture-tape, clinical evidence regarding the efficacy of suture-tape augmentation is still insufficient. This prospective study was performed to evaluate the outcomes of the modified Broström procedure augmented with suture-tape for chronic ankle instability with generalized ligamentous laxity, which…
Read MoreBiomechanical Analysis of an Arthroscopic Broström Ankle Ligament Repair and a Suture Anchor-Augmented Repair (2015)
Abstract: Background: Secondary surgical repair of ankle ligaments is often indicated in cases of chronic lateral ankle instability. Recently, arthroscopic Broström techniques have been described, but biomechanical information is limited. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the biomechanical properties of an arthroscopic Broström repair and augmented repair with a proximally placed suture…
Read MoreArthroscopic suture-tape internal bracing is safe as arthroscopic modified Broström repair in the treatment of chronic ankle instability (2019)
Abstract: Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare the intermediate-term clinical outcomes between lateral ligaments augmentation using suture-tape and modified Broström repair in a selected cohort of patients. The hypothesis of the presented study is that suture-tape augmentation technique has comparable clinical and radiological outcomes with arthroscopic Broström repair technique. Read Paper
Read MoreClinical results of an arthroscopic modified Brostrom operation with and without an internal brace (2016)
Abstract: Background: The concept of utilizing nonabsorbable suture tape fixed directly to bone to augment Brostrom repairs of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) has been proposed. However, no clinical data are currently available regarding the arthroscopic modified Brostrom operation with an internal brace. Materials and methods: This study involved 85 consecutive patients (22 in the…
Read MoreFunctional Results of Open Broström Ankle Ligament Repair Augmented With a Suture Tape (2018)
Abstract: Background: The Broström procedure is the most commonly used lateral ligament repair for chronic instability, but there is concern about the strength of the repair and the risk of reinjury. Currently, the InternalBraceTM ligament augmentation repair is an accepted augmentation method for management of a Broström procedure. Our hypothesis was that augmentation of the…
Read MoreAnkle Lateral Ligament Augmentation Versus the Modified Broström-Gould Procedure: A 5-Year Randomized Controlled Trial (2019)
Abstract: Background: “Ankle sprain” is a common injury, and >20% of patients may develop chronic instability for which surgery is indicated. The modified Broström-Gould (MBG) procedure remains the gold standard; however, there are a number of relative contraindications to this procedure, and the longer-term outcomes after the MBG have been questioned. An alternative procedure is…
