A randomized comparison between lateral ligaments augmentation using suture-tape and modified Brostr öm repair in young female patients with chronic ankle instability

The modified Brostr öm anatomic ligament repair is currently the most common and gold-standard primary surgical technique for chronic lateral ankle instability. There is an increasing interest in minimally invasive procedures to treat this condition [1]. Minimally invasive procedures can be divided into three major ca tegories: arthroscopic approach including the arthroscopic ligament rapair (arthroscopic Broström procedure) [2,3] and arthroscopic ligament reconstruction [4,5], non-arthroscopic reconstructive approach such as the percutaneous or mini-open ligament reconstruction using tendon graft [6,7], non-art hroscopic augmentative approach such as the ligament augmentation using suture tape [8,9].
