Advancement of Periosteal and Capsular Complexes With or Without Augmentation Using a Free Graft From Lower Extensor Retinaculum: A Comparative Study With Propensity Score Matching

Background: This study compared the outcome of the L-shaped (L-AD) advancement of the periosteal and capsular complexes with or without augmentation using a free graft of the lower extensor retinaculum (AUG) in patients with chronic lateral ankle instability. Methods: A matched pair analysis was per...

description Background: This study compared the outcome of the L-shaped (L-AD) advancement of the periosteal and capsular complexes with or without augmentation using a free graft of the lower extensor retinaculum (AUG) in patients with chronic lateral ankle instability. Methods: A matched pair analysis was performed of retrospectively collected medical records of patients undergoing lateral ankle ligament repair who had completed at least 2 years of follow-up. Patients who underwent L-AD with AUG and patients undergoing L-AD alone were matched for age, sex, stress radiography findings, and body mass index. Patients with general joint laxity, osteoarthritic changes in the ankle, and subtalar symptoms and who underwent simultaneous surgical treatment for conditions other than that for lateral ankle ligament were excluded. A total of 46 patients were included in the study (23 patients in each group). Clinical outcome scores and postoperative mechanical instability were compared. Results: The median American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score improved significantly ( P  < .001) from 72 to 97 in the L-AD alone group and from 77 to 100 in the L-AD with AUG group. The mean (±SD) talar tilt angles improved significantly from 11.1 to 4.7 degrees postoperatively ( P  < .001) in the L-AD alone group vs 9.7 to 5.2 degrees ( P  < .001) in the L-AD with AUG group. The mean anterior drawer distances were improved significantly postoperatively from 6.4 to 4.7 mm ( P  < .001) in the L-AD alone group, and from 6.5 to 4.5 mm ( P  < .001) in the L-AD with AUG group. Conclusion: The L-AD technique significantly improved AOFAS scores and mechanical instability of ankles with chronic lateral instability with a very low complication rate. Additional augmentation using a free graft showed no advantages in the ankle with a talar tilt of <20 degrees. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective case-control series.
