Conditions
Brief summary
GJL is a risk factor for postoperative recurrent instability following an MBR for CLAI. Additional suture tape augmentation has been suggested to provide more strength and stability. However, the outcomes of the MBP with suture tape augmentation were unknown, which requires further exploration.
Detailed description
Generalized joint laxity (GJL) is a risk factor for postoperative recurrent instability following an open modified Broström repair (MBR) for chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). MBR with suture tape augmentation may provide more strength and stability. However, BPR with suture tape augmentation may lead to rejection of the suture tape. In addition, the outcomes of the MBP with suture tape augmentation were unknown.
Interventions
Patients with CLAI and GJL will accept the Modified Broström + Suture tape augmentation operation
Patients with CLAI and GJL will accept the Modified Broström procedure operation

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Clinical diagnosis of lateral ankle instability * Beighton score ≥4 * Age with 18 to 60 years
Exclusion criteria
* Patients with an acute or subacute ankle injury * Injury of the deltoid ligament * Alignment of lower extremity greater than 5 degrees * Fractures of the lower extremity * Stage III or IV osteoarthritis * Patients who refused to participate in the study
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score | postoperative AOFAS score at 1 year | This score is a primary scale for lateral ankle instability, ranges from 0-100, and the higher of the score is associate with a better outcome. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Anterior displacement and talar tilt angle in stress radiography | postoperative radiographic measures at 2 years | The outcomes are common indicators for evaluation the lateral stability of ankle, and can be evaluated through same stress radiography |
| Rate of re-injury | the rate of re-injury at 2 years | The rate of patients re-sprain after the surgery |
