| Core Tip |
The totally percutaneous modified Broström repair preceded by diagnostic ankle arthroscopy and confirmed by intraoperative stress views, offers a safe and effective minimally invasive alternative for chronic anterior talofibular ligament tears unresponsive to at least 3 months of conservative management. This technique minimizes soft tissue trauma, reduces operative time, and promotes faster recovery with excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes, making it particularly beneficial for active patients aiming for a quicker return to sports and daily activities. This case series demonstrates significant improvement in functional scores and resolution of instability at 18-month follow-up, highlighting its potential as a preferred surgical option. |
