Clinical outcomes of all-inside arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament reconstruction for chronic lateral ankle instability: A prospective series with minimum 12 month outcomes.
Background: Chronic lateral ankle instability (CAI) is a common condition that can be effectively treated with lateral ankle ligament reconstruction to restore ankle stability and function. The aim was to assess the functional outcomes of arthroscopic lateral ligament reconstruction using the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), Visual Analog Score (VAS) and Euroqol-5D-5L (EQ-5D) patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
Methods: This prospective series included 36 consecutive patients who underwent isolated arthroscopic lateral ligament reconstruction for CAI between November 2020 and November 2022 with minimum 12-month follow up. All patients completed the MOXFQ, VAS, and EQ5D PROMs preoperatively, and a minimum of 12 months postoperatively. The MOXFQ is a foot and ankle-specific PROM that assesses foot and ankle function, the VAS measures pain and the EQ5D evaluates general health-related quality of life.
Results: Patients were followed up for 12-25 months. In all patients, there was significant improvement in all postoperative PROMs (p < 0.05). The MOXFQ index decreased from 59.1 ± 19.2-13.5 ± 18.1 (p < 0.01), EQ-5D index increased from 0.607 ± 0.224-0.854 ± 0.175 (p < 0.01) and VAS pain decreased from 36.6 ± 22.3-13.6 ± 18.4 (p < 0.01).A total of 6 patients(16.3 %) were lost to follow up and mean follow-up time was 1.63 ± 0.54 years.
Conclusion: Arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament reconstruction is an effective treatment for chronic ankle instability, with significant improvements in clinical and health-related quality of life outcomes.
期刊介绍：
Foot and Ankle Surgery is essential reading for everyone interested in the foot and ankle and its disorders. The approach is broad and includes all aspects of the subject from basic science to clinical management. Problems of both children and adults are included, as is trauma and chronic disease. Foot and Ankle Surgery is the official journal of European Foot and Ankle Society.
The aims of this journal are to promote the art and science of ankle and foot surgery, to publish peer-reviewed research articles, to provide regular reviews by acknowledged experts on common problems, and to provide a forum for discussion with letters to the Editors. Reviews of books are also published. Papers are invited for possible publication in Foot and Ankle Surgery on the understanding that the material has not been published elsewhere or accepted for publication in another journal and does not infringe prior copyright.
