Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Open Brostrom-Gould Procedure: Minimum 5-Year Follow-Up.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ankle sprains are a common musculoskeletal injury among the general population and often involve the lateral ligament complex. Although the majority of ankle sprains are treated successfully with nonsurgical conservative measures, an estimated 5% to 20% of ankle injuries ultimately develop chronic lateral ankle instability (CAI). Multiple surgical treatment modalities for the lateral ankle complex exist, such as anatomical and nonanatomical reconstruction. The current gold standard for primary surgical repair is the Broström-Gould procedure. This is the first article to provide PROMIS scores following BG and the largest study with 5-year outcomes for an open BG.

Methods

This was a descriptive study of a retrospective cohort of patients undergoing a BG with a minim
