Surgical Management of Lateral Ankle Instability: Modified Broström-Gould Versus Arthroscopic Allograft Reconstruction of the Anterior Talofibular and Calcaneofibular Ligaments.

Arthroscopic reconstruction with allograft, in which a tendon (generally from a tissue bank) is used to reconstruct the ligaments. This technique is performed through small incisions using arthroscopy.

Open surgery consists of the modified Broström-Gould technique, which allows for the reconstruction of damaged ligaments using the patient's own tissues through an incision on the lateral side of the fibula. This technique has shown satisfactory functional results.
