Introduction:

Chronic ankle instability is defined as a clinical condition characterized by the presence of repetitive sprains. It can be functional or mechanical.

Objective:

The general objective of this study is to determine the results of the technique using the AOFAS scale and radiographs. of Broström-Gould modified with anchors in patients with chronic lateral ankle instability in the INR in a period comprised of 2008-2016.

Material and methods:

This is a cross-sectional, prospective, descriptive study with INR patients who had the diagnosis of chronic lateral ankle instability managed using the Broström-Gould procedure modified with anchors.

Results:

13 were in follow-up, 1 man and 12 women, with an average age of 38 years (± 13), with predominance of the left ankle 7 (54%) over the right 6 (46%). On the AOFAS scale, the pre-surgical average obtained was 39.3 (± 13.1) compared to the 6-month post-surgery of 73.4 (± 18).

Conclusion:

The use of anchors combined with the modified Broström-Gould technique with anchors is a simple and effective alternative that allows the replacement or repair of the anterior peroneal and peroneocalcaneal fibular ligaments.
