Abstract
INTRODUCTION After an ankle sprain, up to 20% of patients may develop chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) requiring surgical treatment. The objective of this study was to investigate the functional outcomes and rates of return to sport activities in a cohort of non-athlete patients with chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) who underwent the opened Brostrom-Gould technique (BGT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-nine patients (seventy-nine feet) from three different centers undergoing BGT were reviewed. For clinical and functional analysis, the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale was applied and rates of return to sport activities were assessed. Correlation of Δ-AOFAS and rates of return to sport activities with all variables analyzed was performed. RESULTS Mean AOFAS score improved from 64.6 to 97.2 (p < 0.001). Sixty-one (77.2%) returned to preinjury activities and 18 (22.8%) changed to a lower-level modality. Symptoms of instability were related to Δ-AOFAS (p = 0.020). Change in the sport activity was related to pain and symptoms of instability (p = 0.41 and p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Recreational athlete patients who underwent the BGT demonstrated excellent functional outcomes after a mean follow-up of 7 years. Residual pain and symptoms of instability after surgery were the main complaints associated with limitations in physical activities.

Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2023; 31:6104-6112.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical outcomes of anatomic repair procedure for chronic anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) injury at the talar side, and to compare the outcomes between patients with and without concomitant avulsion fractures. It was hypothesized that anatomic repair procedure could produce similarly satisfactory outcomes for those two groups. METHODS Thirty-nine consecutive patients with chronic ATFL injuries at the talar side who underwent anatomic repair procedure at the department of sports medicine at Peking University Third Hospital between 2013 and 2018, were retrospectively evaluated. The pain visual analogue scale (VAS), American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, Tegner score, and Foot & Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) were recorded as the primary outcomes. Time to return to sports (RTS), surgical satisfaction, deficiency of ankle range of motion (ROM), recurrent sprain, and postoperative complications were recorded as the secondary outcomes. Outcomes were compared between patients with (Group A, 16 cases) and without (Group B, 23 cases) concomitant avulsion fractures. RESULTS The mean follow-up time was 79.4 ± 17.0 and 76.6 ± 18.5 months for Group A and B, respectively. VAS, AOFAS, Tegner, FAOS, and all subscale scores of FAOS were significantly improved in both groups at the final follow up. Patients in group A had inferior postoperative VAS, AOFAS, FAOS, and pain score of FAOS compared to group B (1.1 ± 1.1 vs. 0.4 ± 0.5, 89.1 ± 10.1 vs. 95.2 ± 5.2, 87.2 ± 7.2 vs. 91.5 ± 4.1, and 88.4 ± 11.3 vs. 96.7 ± 3.5, respectively).The mean time to RTS, rate of satisfaction and recurrent sprain had no significant differences between group A and B (6.1 ± 2.8, 93.8%, and 18.8% vs. 5.2 ± 2.2, 100.0%, and 13.0%, respectively), and the rate of ROM deficiency was significantly higher in group A (37.5 vs. 8.7%). Avulsion fracture was identified as an independent risk factor for inferior pain score of FAOS. CONCLUSION Anatomic repair procedure for chronic ATFL injuries at the talar side produces favourable results for patients with and without avulsion fractures at 5 to 10 years follow-up, however, avulsion fracture is associated with more pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnosing anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) injuries differs among radiologists. Further assessment of ATFL tears is valuable for clinical decision-making. PURPOSE To establish a deep learning method for classifying ATFL injuries based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). STUDY TYPE Retrospective. POPULATION One thousand seventy-three patients from a single center with ankle MRI within 1 month of reference standard arthroscopy (in-group dataset), were divided into training, validation, and test sets in a ratio of 8:1:1. Additionally, 167 patients from another center were used as an independent out-group dataset. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE Fat-saturation proton density-weighted fast spin-echo sequence at 1.5/3.0 T. ASSESSMENT Patients were divided into normal, strain and degeneration, partial tear and complete tear groups (groups 0-3). The complete tear group was divided into five sub-groups by location and the potential avulsion fracture (groups 3.1-3.5). All images were input into AlexNet, VGG11, Small-Sample-Attention Net (SSA-Net), and SSA-Net + Weight Loss for classification. The results were compared with four radiologists with 5-30 years of experience. STATISTICAL TESTS Model performance was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the area under the ROC curve (AUC), and so on. McNemar's test was used to compare performance among the different models, and between the radiologists and models. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the reliability of the radiologists. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The average AUC of AlexNet, VGG11, SAA-Net, and SSA-Net + Weight Loss was 0.95, 0.99, 0.99, 0.99 in groups 0-3 and 0.96, 0.99, 0.99, 0.99 in groups 3.1-3.5. The effect of SSA-Net + Weight Loss was similar to SSA-Net but better than AlexNet and VGG11. In the out-group test set, the AUC of SSA-Net + Weight Loss ranged from 0.89 to 0.99. The ICC of radiologists was 0.97-1.00. The effect of SSA-Net + Weight Loss was better than each radiologist in the in-group and out-group test sets. DATA CONCLUSION Deep learning has potential to be used for classifying ATFL injuries. SSA-Net + Weight Loss has a better diagnostic effect than radiologists with different experience levels. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide a systematic overview of clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients who underwent surgical treatment of a painful avulsion fragment of the distal fibula also known as posttraumatic os subfibulare. METHODS A systematic literature search across two major sources (PubMed and Scopus) was performed. Twenty-seven studies were included and analyzed using the modified Coleman score to assess the methodologic quality. RESULTS The surgical treatment of symptomatic os subfibulare, with or without concomitant ankle instability, generally results in substantial improvement in clinical and radiographic outcomes with relative low complication rates. Clinical outcome measures may not be affected by the presence of ankle instability or by the fragment size. The methodological quality of analyzed studies was satisfactory. CONCLUSION Posttraumatic os subfibulare may result in chronic pain and ankle instability. If surgery is indicated, ankle instability should be concomitantly addressed when present. Based on available literature, satisfactory postoperative outcomes can be reliably expected following surgical treatment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Systematic Review of Level III and Level IV Studies, Level IV.
