“…Kramer et al 39 noted in their study that soccer players were less likely to RTP, and those who were able to return did so later than athletes who return to other sports. Buerer et al 21 found no relationship between RTP timeline and sport, yet they did not describe the types of sports included in their study.…”

ImportanceAnkle sprains are the most commonly occurring musculoskeletal injury. Reconstruction of the lateral ligament complex is often required for athletes with recurrent instability, or high-grade acute sprains, in order to return to their pre-injury level of sport.ObjectiveThe purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the spectrum, prevalence and quality of evidence regarding return to sport timeline following lateral ligament surgery.Evidence reviewA search was conducted of Embase and Medline databases from the earliest possible entry to November 2016. Studies reporting a timeline regarding return to play (RTP) following lateral ankle ligament reconstruction were included in this review.FindingsOf 3184 total articles, 20 articles evaluating 489 athletes met the criteria and were included for review. Thirteen of the 20 papers were used to calculate a weighted mean time to RTP of 4.7 months. Overall, both the frequency and quality of RTP criteria and reporting were very low.Conclusions and relevanceThe current review identifies a clear deficiency in the literature pertaining to consistent, meaningful postoperative RTP timeline following lateral ankle ligament repair. Published studies vary considerably in the metrics used for measuring patient-reported outcomes, and very few actually track them. Further studies on outcomes following ankle ligament repair should include clear and consistent metrics for return to sport and level of play. Standardised and reproducible criteria for reporting RTP for athletes will improve the utility and applicability of outcomes data as surgical and rehabilitative techniques continue to advance.Level of evidenceSystematic review of level I–IV studies, level IV.

“…the clinical evaluation criteria applicable to joints repaired using the Broström-Gould technique are not yet standardized. Buerer et al (13), comparing four different scores, found a high rate of satisfaction in terms of articular mobility, albeit in the presence of a disparity of long-term outcomes. Cadaveric studies have shown greater mechanical stability obtained with the modified Broström technique as opposed to Watson-Jones and Chrisman-snook reconstructions (14,15), especially in competitive athletes, which encourages us to apply this method in this specific category of athletes in particular.…”

94Joints 2016;4(2):94-97 J oints AbstractPurpose: this study was conducted to evaluate longterm results following treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability using the Broström-Gould technique in athletes. Methods: eighteen athletes involved in competitive sports at different levels, who suffered from chronic lateral ankle instability, underwent Broström-Gould ligamentoplasty between 2000 and 2005. the results of the surgery were evaluated using the American orthopaedic Foot and Ankle society (AoFAs) scale. Results: the results at 10-15 years of follow-up were excellent in 94.5% of these cases and good in the remaining 5.5%. An increase of 31.2 points in the AoFAs scale score was recorded at follow-up (with the score rising to 98.8, from 67.6 preoperatively). All the athletes returned to their respective sports at the same level as prior to the surgery. imaging at longterm follow-up showed no signs of arthritic degeneration. Conclusions: the results of this study show that the Broström-Gould technique is an effective procedure for the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability in the athlete, giving excellent long-term results. Level of evidence: therapeutic case series, level iV.

“…2 After surge1y, the patients were inunobilized in a walking cast for 4 weeks, were given low-molecular-weight heparin (Fragmin, Pfizer, AG, 8052 Zürich, Switzerland) as prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis, and were encouraged to bear weight as tolerated. Further immobilization included a day and night ankle splint (ASO, Allenspach, Medical AG, 4710 Balsthal, Switzerland) for 4 weeks and only a night splint for 2 weeks.…”

“…The goal of the present study was to evaluate outcome measures for the treatment of a co1mnon foot and ankle abnormality-lateral ankle instability-and to compare the results obtained by 2 disease-specific and 2 body region-specific scores. The study aimed to explore 3 hypotheses: ( 1) A correlation exists between the 4 proposed scores, (2) …”

Background: Outcome following foot and ankle surgery can be assessed by disease- and region-specific scores. Many scoring systems exist, making comparison among studies difficult. The present study focused on outcome measures for a common foot and ankle abnormality and compared the results obtained by 2 disease-specific and 2 body region-specific scores. Methods: We reviewed 41 patients who underwent lateral ankle ligament reconstruction. Four outcome scales were administered simultaneously: the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) and the Chronic Ankle Instability Scale (CAIS), which are disease specific, and the American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot scale and the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), which are both body region-specific. The degree of correlation between scores was assessed by Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Nonparametric tests, the Kruskal-Wallis and the Mann-Whitney test for pairwise comparison of the scores, were performed. Results: A significant difference ( P < .005) was observed between the CAIS and the AOFAS score ( P = .0002), between the CAIS and the FAAM 1 ( P = .0001), and between the CAIT and the AOFAS score ( P = .0003). Conclusions: This study compared the performances of 4 disease- and body region-specific scoring systems. We demonstrated a correlation between the 4 administered scoring systems and notable differences between the results given by each of them. Disease-specific scores appeared more accurate than body region-specific scores. A strong correlation between the AOFAS score and the other scales was observed. The FAAM seemed a good compromise because it offered the possibility to evaluate the patient according to his or her own functional demand. Clinical Relevance: The present study contributes to the development of more critical and accurate outcome assesment methods in foot and ankle surgery.
