About this trial
GJL is a risk factor for postoperative recurrent instability following an MBR for CLAI. Additional suture tape augmentation has been suggested to provide more strength and stability. However, the outcomes of the MBP with suture tape augmentation were unknown, which requires further exploration.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Clinical diagnosis of lateral ankle instability
Beighton score ≥4
Age with 18 to 60 years
Disqualifiers
Patients with an acute or subacute ankle injury
Injury of the deltoid ligament
Alignment of lower extremity greater than 5 degrees
Fractures of the lower extremity
Trial population
The patients who go to visit a doctor for persistent lateral ankle pain and instability over three months and invalid conservative treatment, with the age of 15 - 55 years. If the Beighton score of the patient is ≥4 and the exclusion criteria are met, he or she is going to be advised to participate in this study.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score
This score is a primary scale for lateral ankle instability, ranges from 0-100, and the higher of the score is associate with a better outcome.

Secondary outcomes
Anterior displacement and talar tilt angle in stress radiography
The outcomes are common indicators for evaluation the lateral stability of ankle, and can be evaluated through same stress radiography
Rate of re-injury
The rate of patients re-sprain after the surgery
