Abstract:Objective To investigate early clinic effect of chronic lateral ankle instability with Semi-peroneus brevis anatomic reconstruction.Methods From July 2013 to August 2014 25 patients with chronic lateral instability of ankle were reviewed.There were 13 males and 12 females with an average age of 30.5 years (25 to 54 years).Karlsson scores and AOFAS scores system were used to evaluate clinic effect in last follow-up.Results All the patients had successful surgery of anterior tibal fibular ligament reconstruction.There was no infection.All the patient were followed up.The duration ranged from 13 to 29 months,with an average of (19.5±3.7) months.All the patients went back to former work.Karlsson scores and AOFAS scores improve significantlycompared with those beforesurgery. Conclusion Anterior tibal fibular ligament rescontrucion with semi-peroneus brevis can effectively treat chronic lateral instabiltywith advantage of mini-trauma,easy-procedure,satisfactory-ankle function.
