Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare at 5 years the sporting activity of patients whose ankle had been treated by reconstruction or repair following chronic lateral instability. The main question it aims to answer is:

What is the long-term sporting activity status of patients whose ankle had been treated by reconstruction or repair following chronic lateral instability ?

Participants will visit the clinic once every year during 5 years for clinical checkup.

Conditions

  • Ankle Instability

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Anatomical reconstruction

Anatomical ligamentoplasty or anatomical reconstruction is performed under arthroscopy. The principle of this method, which lasts around 40 minutes under spinal anaesthetic or general anaesthetic, is to reconstruct the LTFA and sometimes also the LCF, if it has been damaged, using a fragment of the tendon gracilis, located in the thigh, removed through an incision under the knee

PROCEDURE

Broström anatomical repair

Broström's anatomical repair is performed under arthroscopy. The principle of this method is to tighten and reattach the LTFA using very small anchors, when it is detached from the fibula but not too retracted and still of good quality. If necessary, this may also be accompanied by ligament reinforcement ('gould'), using a fragment of a fibrous structure in the ankle, the extensor retinaculum
