Core Tip

Core Tip: Chronic lateral ankle instability is usually caused directly by lateral collateral ligament injury. The ligament advanced reinforcement system (LARS) is a new graft with unique advantages such as low postoperative complication rates, early rehabilitation and its design makes it more resistant to torsional fatigue and wearing. However, the safety and efficacy of LARS artificial ligament for ankle joint lateral collateral ankle ligament reconstruction have not been determined to date. The purpose of this study was to evaluate this anatomical reconstructive surgery for chronic ankle instability by using LARS artificial ligament under all-arthroscopic conditions.
