Efficacy and safety of lateral ligaments augmentation and modified Brostrom repair in the treatment of chronic lateral instability of the ankle joint: a meta-analysis

Lateral ligament augmentation demonstrates superior mechanical stability and functional outcomes compared to the modified Broström repair in treating CLAI. However, both procedures show similar rates of adverse events, and further high-quality studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract

Lateral ligament augmentation demonstrates superior mechanical stability and functional outcomes compared to the modified Broström repair in treating CLAI. However, both procedures show similar rates of adverse events, and further high-quality studies are needed to confirm these findings.
