title: Modified Brostrom lateral ankle stabilization utilizing an implantable anchoring system.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to introduce a modification of the Brostrom procedure to repair chronic lateral ankle instability. This technique involves utilizing an implantable anchoring system to simplify the plication of the injured capsular and ligamentous structures of the ankle. The advantage of this surgical technique is that it provides the surgeon with a relatively rapid, simple procedure that utilizes the proven technique first described by Brostrom in 1966.
