Efficacy and complication of keyhole surgery and open surgery for repairing fibular collateral ligament in the persistent lateral ankle joint instability treatment: A protocol for systematic review and meta analysis

Year: 2024
Type: review
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Over the past few years, there has been growing interest in identifying and treating persistent lateral ankle joint instability. Many medical professionals believe that early intervention is important to address this instability. METHODS: Four databases on the outcomes of open and keyhole surgery for repairing the fibular collateral ligament in the treatment of chronic lateral ankle joint instability were acquired from the computer during controlled trials. Data analysis was conducted after the rigorous literature quality evaluation using Stata software. RESULTS: This meta-analysis finally included 11 articles. Eleven studies reported complications were significantly lower in the treated group (odds ratio: 0.55; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.32-0.94; P < .05) compared to the untreated group, as were American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society scores (standard mean difference [SMD]: 3.77; 95% CI: 1.17-6.37; P < .01), visual analog scale scores (SMD: -0.69; 95% CI: -1.24 to -0.14; P < .05), Karlsson scores (SMD: 2.78; 95% CI: 0.35-5.21; P < .05), and Tegner scores (SMD: 0.41; 95% CI: -0.13 to 0.95; P = .139). CONCLUSION: According to complications, American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society scores, visual analog scale scores, and Karlsson scores, the study findings suggested that keyhole surgery may be beneficial in patients with persistent lateral ankle joint instability. Following this, the growing number of high-quality studies needs to confirm the results reported in this study.
