PRELIMINARY CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF ALL-INSIDE ARTHROSCOPIC LATERAL ANKLE STABILIZATION FOR CHRONIC LATERAL ANKLE INSTABILITY AT MILITARY CENTRAL HOSPITAL 108
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the preliminary outcomes of all-inside arthroscopic lateral ankle stabilization in the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability. Materials and Methods: A prospective descriptive study was conducted on 16 patients diagnosed with chronic lateral ankle instability who underwent all-inside arthroscopic lateral ankle stabilization at Military Central Hospital 108 between July 2023 and August 2024. Outcome measures included the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, return to sport, and postoperative complications. Results: The mean VAS score significantly decreased from 2.56 preoperatively to 0.44 postoperatively (p < 0.001). The mean AOFAS score significantly improved from 47.81 to 92.44 (p < 0.001). Regarding return to sport, 25% of patients returned to their preinjury level, 43.75% resumed sports at a lower intensity, and 31.25% discontinued sports participation. No major postoperative complications were observed. Conclusion: All-inside arthroscopic lateral ankle stabilization demonstrated favorable preliminary outcomes, with significant improvements in pain and functional scores, a low complication rate, and satisfactory short-term safety.
