Twenty-six-year results after Broström procedure for chronic lateral ankle instability.

Background: The procedure described by Broström has been used to address chronic lateral ankle instability; the long-term results of this procedure have not been reported.

Hypothesis: The Broström procedure provides good results over the long term for active patients with chronic lateral ankle instability.

Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.

The modified Bristow procedure for anterior shoulder instability: 26-year outcomes in Naval Academy midshipmen.

Background: Many procedures have been proposed for the correction of anterior shoulder instability. Some of these procedures address the problem anatomically, such as the Bankart procedure, and some prevent instability nonanatomically, such as the Bristow-Latarjet procedure. A modified Bristow procedure was the procedure of choice for anterior shoulder instability among midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy from 1975 to 1979.

Long-term evaluation of the Roux-Elmslie-Trillat procedure for patellar instability: a 26-year follow-up.

Background: Few published articles exist reporting the long-term evaluation of the Roux-Elmslie-Trillat procedure.

Purpose: To assess the long-term effect of the Roux-Elmslie-Trillat procedure in preventing recurrent subluxation and dislocation of the patella.

Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.
