Resumo
Background: The high prevalence of ankle sprains in the population produces a significant number of patients with lateral
instability. Persistence of this condition may lead to the progressive involvement of medial structures, causing a multi directional rotational instability.Methods: This is a retrospective study with patients diagnosed with multidirectional instability who underwent ankle
arthroscopy with medial (arthroscopic tensioning) and lateral repair (arthroscopic Bro¨strom) between January 2018 and January 2020. All patients were evaluated for pain and function according to the visual analog scale (VAS) score and the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) Hindfoot Score at a mean of 14.8 months (5-27 months) in follow-up. A total of 30 ankles (29 patients) were included in the study. Results: The AOFAS score increase from a 49.7 (CI 5.8) to a 91.9 (CI 2.4) mean (P ¼ .001) and was followed by significant improvement in the mean VAS score (6.8, CI 0.37-0.95, CI 0.31). The majority of patients had associated procedures
(53.3%), and a low complication rate was found (16.6%).Conclusion: Combined medial and lateral arthroscopic repair might be an effective and safe alternative in the treatment of multidirectional instability. Inclusion of the deltoid ligament complex and the low invasiveness of the arthroscopic technique may improve the clinical outcomes of these patients. Level of Evidence: Level IV, retrospective case series.
