Comparative analysis of the results of anatomic restoration of capsuloligamentous system in chronic lateral ankle instability using low invasive arthroscopic techniques was performed. Patients and methods. Forty seven patients (17 - 60 years old) with chronic lateral ankle instability were operated on. In 20 patients a standard “ArthroBrostrum” technique with a use of 2-3 biocomposite fixatives and in 27 patients - the modified arthroscopic intervention with use of 1 titanium anchor was performed. Treatment efficacy was evaluated by AOFAS score. Results. One year after surgery treatment results were followed up in 39 patients: excellent results were achieved in 7 (36.84%), good - in 7 (36.84%), satisfactory - in 3 (15.79%) and poor - in 2 patients after standard technique and in 8 (40.00%), 7 (35.00%), 4 (20.00%) and 1 (5.00%) after modified method, respectively. Conclusion. Thus modified arthroscopic technique is in no way inferior to a standard “ArthroBrostrum” intervention having certain advantages (use of 1 versus 3 fixatives, possibility of intraoperative X-ray control, and shortening of the operation duration). So it could be recommended for the treatment of patients with lateral ankle instability.
