Abstract
Ankle sprain is the most frequent sports trauma. Surgical treatment is needed in case of chronical instability, after failure of conservative treatment. The technique established today worldwide consists in repairing the ligament (Broström technique) and strengthening the repair by adding extensor retinaculum (Gould technique). An arthroscopic technique recently has been developed; nevertheless, no published technique has proposed a total endoscopic Broström technique associated with a Gould augmentation because of difficulty in visualizing the retinaculum by anterior ankle arthroscopy. Lateral ankle endoscopy can provide a view of this area that is superior to open surgery. In this technique, the procedure is able to be performed safely and reproducible under perfect viewing. The purpose of this study is to describe an all-inside endoscopic Broström-Gould technique.
