Brostrom-Gould procedure for the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability
Abstract
Objectives: We evaluated the results in 10 patients who underwent surgery using the Brostrom-Gould method for chronic lateral ankle instability.
Methods: Brostrom-Gould procedure was performed in 11 ankles of 10 patients (4 females, 6 males; age range 14-32 years) with chronic lateral ankle instability. Ankle injury was localized to the right (n=6) and left (n=3) ankles. One patient had bilateral instability. The average period between the time of injury and that of operation was 38 months (range 18 months to 5 years). All the patients presented with chronic functional instability, pain, and edema, of which seven patients had giving-way, as well. The results were evaluated using the Sefton criteria. Mean follow-up was 19 months (range 6-27 months).
Results: According to the Sefton criteria, excellent, good, and fair results were obtained in six (55%), three (27%), and two (18%) patients, respectively. No postoperative complications occurred including infections, delayed wound healing, and nerve injuries.
Conclusion: Achievement of stability without sacrificing healthy tissues and avoidance of important complications such as limited subtalar and inversion motion make Brostrom-Gould procedure the treatment of choice in the anatomic reconstruction of patients with chronic lateral ankle instability.
