Ankle Instability in the Athlete: Controversial Issues (1/5)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the topic of arthroscopic brostrums and the evolving scope of ankle instability. The speaker mentions that there is a rising use of arthroscopy for ankle stabilization, with a study showing that around 96-97% of surveyed cases involved arthroscopy. The speaker describes their preferred setup for ankle arthroscopy, including the use of traction to improve visualization. They also discuss the steps involved in performing the procedure, such as detaching remnant scarring, preparing the bed, and using suture anchors. The video mentions that arthroscopic brostrums have shown promise in reducing swelling, post-operative pain, and recurrence rate compared to open procedures. However, there is a risk of nerve injury when performing arthroscopy. The speaker discusses their move towards a knotless technique and considers using arthroscopic brostrums for recreational athletes. The video concludes with acknowledgments and references.
