Current Literature Definitions of Failure in Lateral Ankle Instability Surgery: A Systematic Review

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Jonathan Dahlman, a third-year medical student at the University of Kansas School of Medicine, discusses failure following surgical treatment for lateral ankle instability. He explains that there is currently no standardized definition of failure for this condition. To address this, his team conducted a systematic review to identify existing definitions and propose a uniform definition. Their suggested definition includes recurrent ankle sprains, re-rupture, further surgical intervention, low scores on assessment tests, persistent symptoms, and positive results on specific diagnostic tests. They found a wide range of definitions in the literature, highlighting the need for standardization. Dahlman thanks his team and invites questions or contact for further information.
