Modified Broström procedure along with arthroscopic debridement significantly alleviates pain and eliminates instability in patients with medial gutter osteoarthritis.
According to the
researchers of Chungbuk National University Korea, medial gutter osteoarthritis
with chronic ankle instability can be effectively managed with the help of the
modified Broström procedure combined with arthroscopic debridement. The
information about the outcomes of operative treatment for ankle instability
with concurrent arthritic changes in the medial gutter is inadequate. The study
estimated the intermediate-term radiological and clinical findings of modified
Broström procedure and arthroscopic debridement among twenty-two patients with
medial gutter osteoarthritis with concurrent chronic ankle instability.
The study population
was followed up for more than three-years after the modified Broström procedure
and arthroscopic debridement. At the time of surgery, all patients presented
with the medial joint space narrowing of Takakura stage II. the visual analog
scale (VAS) for medial ankle pain during walking, Foot and Ankle Ability
Measure (FAAM) and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score
were measured during the clinical evaluation.
