Clinical Outcomes of Anatomical Reconstruction of the Lateral Ankle Ligament Complex: A Systematic Review Audio Poster

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, the speaker discusses a paper titled "Clinical Outcomes of Anatomical Reconstruction of the Lateral Ankle Ligament Complex, a Systematic Review." The study aims to evaluate clinical outcomes, radiological outcomes, complication rates, and revision rates following anatomical reconstruction for chronic lateral ankle instability. The speaker explains that there is a lack of consensus on the best surgical technique for this condition. The researchers conducted a systematic search of databases and included 13 studies in their review. They found similar improvements in clinical outcomes and tests between autograft and allograft procedures. The return to sport rate was higher in the autograft group. Complication rates were similar. The study concludes that further randomized control trials are needed to determine the optimal technique.
