All-inside arthroscopic procedures for chronic lateral ankle instability: evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.

All-inside arthroscopic procedures for chronic lateral ankle instability: evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.

All-inside arthroscopic procedures are now frequently employed to manage chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) with satisfactory functional outcomes. Currently, no evidence-based guidelines exist for all-inside arthroscopic procedures for CLAI. Many surgical decisions remain uncertain and challenging./r/nPublished scientific literature in PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases./r/nAll-inside arthroscopic repair and reconstruction procedures are reliable treatments for CLAI./r/nThe all-inside arthroscopic procedures for CLAI present significant challenges, particularly in the following aspects./r/nGiven the lack of guidelines for the all-inside arthroscopic procedures for CLAI, this evidence-based clinical practice guideline provides 11 recommendations to address the controversy./r/nIn patients with CLAI undergoing all-inside arthroscopic procedures, comparative studies are urgently needed to establish the optimal timing for weight-bearing, as well as return to work and sports.
