- The study compares the Broström-Gould procedure for chronic lateral ankle instability with other surgical options, focusing on safety and efficacy between single- and double-incision techniques.
- It analyzed retrospective data from patients who underwent the procedure from 2011 to 2020, dividing them into two groups based on the incision method.
- Results showed a significant reduction in skin bridge breakdown in the one-incision group without major differences in other complications, suggesting that the single-incision approach may be safer for patients.
