Arthroscopically Assisted Tape Augmentation for Anterior Talofibular Ligament Repair

In this Technical Note, we describe arthroscopically assisted tape augmentation of a modified Broström repair for chronic lateral ankle instability. Specifically, this technique involves talar anchor placement under direct arthroscopic visualization combined with a minimally invasive approach for an...

description In this Technical Note, we describe arthroscopically assisted tape augmentation of a modified Broström repair for chronic lateral ankle instability. Specifically, this technique involves talar anchor placement under direct arthroscopic visualization combined with a minimally invasive approach for anatomic anterior talofibular ligament repair and FiberTape (Arthrex, Naples, FL) augmentation. The primary advantage of our technique compared with open InternalBrace (Arthrex) techniques is that only a 2-cm incision is made and no subcutaneous suture passing and knot tying are required, which bear the danger of superficial peroneal nerve damage. In addition, the risk of nonanatomic anchor placement is diminished owing to direct arthroscopic visualization and preparation of the anterior talofibular ligament remnants.
