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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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

1

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.

Time frame
postoperative AOFAS score at 1 year
2

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.

Time frame
postoperative AOFAS score at 2 years
3

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.

Time frame
postoperative AOFAS score at 6 months
4

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.

Time frame
postoperative AOFAS score at 3 months

Secondary outcomes

1

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

Time frame
postoperative radiographic measures at 2 years
2

Rate of re-injury

The rate of patients re-sprain after the surgery

Time frame
the rate of re-injury at 2 years

Other outcomes

1

Signal to noise value of anterior talofibular ligament

Signal to noise value of the anterior talofibular ligament

Time frame
6 months post-treatment
2

Signal to noise value of the anterior talofibular ligament

Signal to noise value of the anterior talofibular ligament

Time frame
12 months post-treatment
3

Signal to noise value of the anterior talofubular ligament

Signal to noise value of the anterior talofibular ligament

Time frame
