3 Anatomic (Brostrom) reconstruction 1 Pitfalls 2 Failure rates of up to 10% Depends on local tissue quality Non-anatomic (i.e., Chrisman Snook) reconstruction with autogenous peroneal tendon 3,4 Pitfalls 5 Surgical Options for Chronic Instability Subtalar stiffness Non anatomic Decreased peroneal strength Wound complications

4 Modified Anatomic Tendon Allograft Technique Talar footprint of the ATFL prepared and bone tunnel created (1) Fibular bone tunnel from ATFL insertion - exiting between the PTFL & CFL insertion (2) Calcaneal bone tunnel between PTFL & CFL attachment (3)

5 Surgical Technique Semitendenosis Allograft passed through talar tunnel and fixed with interference screw. Allograft passed through fibular bone tunnel (without fixation) Allograft pulled from lateral to medial into calcaneal tunnel and pulled to optimal tension. Graft anchored into calcaneal with interference screw under tension. Peroneal tendons were left intact

6 Methods 38 patients underwent an Anatomic Modified CS Reconstruction 2 Surgeon series (JA & SMR) between available for follow-up Outcome Scores Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) 6 Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain Satisfaction ratings Total Patients 31 Age* (yr) 50 (16-81) Follow-up* (mo) 31 (6-78) Female/Male 16/15 Previous Instability Surgery 12 Left/Right Ankle 12/19 Complications 7 * Mean and range reported

7 Indication in this study Recurrent deformity - previous Brostrom 9 Per Brevis non anatomic reconstruction 4 Poor tissue quality Ehlers Danlos syndrome 4 Severe deformity >30 varus 5 Associated Varus deformity 12

8 Results Pre-Surgical Post-Surgical FAAM* VAS Pain Score* % CI for Difference P-Value <0.001 <0.001 *Mann-Whitney medians reported 91% success rates without recurrence of instability 28 out of 31 patients with good-excellent satisfaction No patients developed subtalar arthritis

9 Complications 3 poor results (9%) 3 with recurrent instability 1 also developed complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) Minor complications 3 patients with incisional parathesias
