About

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.

Full 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.
