Abstract
A modified Watson-Jones tenodesis using a split of the peroneus longus for correction of chronic lateral ankle instability has been used in a series of 43 ankles. The range of follow-up varied between 2 and 10 years (median 56 months). Functional stability was achieved in most cases. One of the major aims of this study was to analyze the different aspects related to persisting symptoms. The need of a standardized rating system for comparison of the results of the various types of reconstruction procedures is emphasized.Keywords
