Meta-analysis of surgical approaches to lateral ankle instability: Open Broström versus arthroscopic Broström versus lasso-loop repair

Puntos clave

• Open Broström has a lower re-injury rate than arthroscopic procedures, suggesting better long-term stability.
• The lasso-loop repair technique shows promising early outcomes with reduced recovery time compared to traditional methods.
• Meta-analysis involved multiple studies, evaluating patient outcomes across diverse surgical approaches to instability.
• Support for open Broström surgery may guide clinical decisions, underscoring the importance of technique choice.
