Article Synopsis
- Posterior ankle impingement syndrome (PAIS) can occur alongside issues like bilateral cases and lateral ankle ligament injuries, but research on their simultaneous surgical treatments is limited.
- A study followed 76 athletic patients who had endoscopic hindfoot surgery for PAIS, analyzing outcomes based on whether they had unilateral or bilateral surgery and if they received ligament repair.
- After 2 years, all patients returned to full athletic activity, showing no significant differences in recovery times or subjective outcomes between the different surgical approaches.
Background: In recent years, arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament repair has become increasingly popular. However, reports on the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic ankle stabilization for skeletally immature patients remain scarce. This study investigated the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic lateral ankle ligaments repair in skeletally immature patients compared to skeletally mature patients.
