Key take away

From a recent study, it was concluded that a Brostrom procedure augmented with suture tape permits the early accelerated rehabilitation without any consequent malfunction. 

Background

This study was done to find if suture tape augmented broström procedure enables early accelerated rehabilitation.

Method

In this retrospective study, 93 patients who suffer from chronic lateral ankle instability were selected. They were treated with Brostrom procedure augmented with a suture-tape. All these patients were examined at 2, 6, and 12 weeks after the surgery. The functional and demographics results as per satisfaction score, visual analog scale (VAS), clinical measures and Foot and Ankle Disability Index were recorded. 

Result

The mean FADI scores and VAS scores were improved after the surgery. Eighty-two patients were capable of completing a single-leg heel raise and single-leg hop at six weeks. The satisfaction scores at 12, 24, 36, and 48 months were 8.5, 9.8, 9.2, and 8.9, respectively. The demographic outcomes did not affect the results.

Conclusion

It was clearly observed that the suture tape augmented Brostrom procedure allows early accelerated rehabilitation.
