Biomechanics Following Anatomic Lateral Ligament Repair of Chronic Ankle Instability: A Systematic Review

One of the most common orthopaedic injuries in the general population, particularly amongst athletes, is ankle sprain. We investigated the literature to evaluate the known pre- and postoperative biomechanical changes of the ankle after anatomic lateral ligament repair in patients suffering from chronic ankle instability. In this systematic review, studies published till January 2020 were identified by using synonyms for “kinetic outcomes," "kinematic outcomes," “Broström procedure" and “lateral ligament repair”.
