Abstract
The Broström-Gould procedure is an effective procedure for chronic lateral ankle instability.
However, long-term studies are limited, and the durability of this procedure remains
unclear. A systematic review of the published data was undertaken to determine the
outcomes and incidence of revision after long-term follow-up. Eleven studies involving
669 Broström-Gould procedures met the inclusion criteria. The revision rate was 1.2%
at a weighted mean follow-up period of 8.4 years. Our systematic review of the available
data revealed that the Broström-Gould procedure results in low revision rates for
chronic lateral ankle instability. However, additional prospective comparative analyses
are needed regarding this topic.
