The purpose of the present study is to evaluate whether findings of instability on preoperative stress radiographs of patients with chronic ankle instability affects the radiographic and clinical outcomes after a modified Broström procedure. A total of 45 consecutive patients (45 ankles) who had undergone the modified Broström procedure for unilateral ankle joint instability and were followed up for ≥2 years were selected. The patients were classified into 2 groups according to the results of the preoperative stress radiographs: 1 group with positive findings (35 [77.8%] patients; stress-positive group) and 1 group with negative findings (10 [22.2%] patients; stress-negative group). The radiographic and clinical outcomes were compared between the 2 groups. The mean preoperative talar tilt measured on the stress radiograph was 14.4° ± 4.2° and 4.8° ± 2.6° in the stress-positive and stress-negative groups, respectively, a statistically significant difference. Postoperative talar tilt improved in both groups, with a mean final talar tilt of 5.4° ± 3.4° in the stress-positive group (p < .001) and 3.0° ± 1.5° in the stress-negative group (p = .038). The average American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot score in the stress-positive and stress-negative groups improved from 65.1 ± 14.6 to 90.0 ± 6.3 (p < .001) and 72.5 ± 9.3 to 92.6 ± 7.8 (p = .007), respectively. The mean postoperative satisfaction rate was 83.9 ± 11.9 and 85.0 ± 11.8 in the 2 groups. No statistically significant differences were seen in the preoperative and postoperative American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society ankle-hindfoot scores or in postoperative satisfaction rates between the 2 groups.
