Purpose: This study assessed the clinical outcomes of a modified Broström operation using all-suture anchors for patients with chronic lateral ankle instability.Methods: A comprehensive analysis was conducted on 22 cases with a minimum follow-up of 1 year.Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Karlsson scores and Sefton's grading system.Results: Significant improvement was observed in patients' symptoms postoperatively.Karlsson scores increased markedly from preoperative levels, indicating substantial clinical improvement.Most patients (20 of 22, 90.9%) were categorized as 'excellent' or 'good' according to Sefton's grading.There was no anchor related complication. Conclusion:The modified Broström operation employing all-suture anchors demonstrated favorable clinical outcomes for patients with chronic lateral ankle instability.This technique can be promising alternative for traditional modified Broström operation, offering improved stability and symptom relief.
