Long-Term Follow-up of Lateral Reconstruction with Extensor Retinaculum Flap for Chronic Ankle Instability

Abstract

To the authors' knowledge, this is the largest series reported with such a follow-up. This technique addressed both lateral ankle and subtalar instability without sacrificing the peroneal tendons. It protected against progression of posttraumatic arthrosis and provided superior results to other reported techniques in terms of patient satisfaction and residual instability.
