(1) Patients whose affected ankle was diagnosed with subjective symptoms and objective diagnostic methods (5 mm in anterior stress radiograph and 10 degrees talus inclination in medial stress radiography) compared to the unaffected side,
(2) Anterior talofibular ligament injury or chronic ankle Patients requiring surgery due to instability ((i) patients with no improvement despite conservative treatment with drugs and rehabilitation for 3 months, (ii) patients with givingway and persistent pain, (iii) returning to the previous level for more than 6 months Patients who cannot maintain ankle activity)
(3) Patients who are judged to be able to follow-up for 2 years after surgery
(4) patients who consented to treatment method (open or arthroscopic treatment) and postoperative examination (MR at 6 months, ultrasound at 1 year)
(5) A patient who consented to the consent form,
(6) A patient who can undergo rehabilitation treatment through regular hospital visits after surgery
(7) As an athlete, after receiving sufficient explanations about conservative treatment and considering the patient’s professional situation, Patients who wish to undergo surgical treatment and consent to the study.
(1) Past fracture history of the affected ankle joint
(2) Past surgical history of the affected ankle
(3) Deformation of ankle alignment due to arthritis, congenital disease, etc. (4) History of other musculoskeletal and nervous system diseases
Until 30 participants in each group were included in the study. (Determined by considering the dropouts during the study period from the number of participants who could have verification power of 24 to analyze the clinical results of both groups in the verification power analysis using G3)
