Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of two different surgical procedures for the treatment of chronic ankle instability. Ten patients treated with an anatomic reconstruction using a periosteal flap were compared with a second group that received an Evans tenodesis. All patients were evaluated before and after surgery with clinical and radiographic examinations as well as dynamic pedobarography. Patient satisfaction and radiographic and functional results were comparable in both groups and revealed a good restoration of joint stability and gait symmetry. Our results indicate that both methods of ankle ligament reconstruction achieve a comparable clinical and functional outcome within 1 year after surgery.Keywords
