Impact of Patient Resilience on Outcomes of Open Brostrom-Gould Lateral Ligament Repair

ABSTRACT:

Introduction:

Little is known about the factors affecting the intermediate outcomes of the Brostrom-Gould repair as measured by new patient-reported outcome instruments and the impact of patient resilience on postoperative outcomes. This is the first study to investigate the impact of resilience on the outcomes of lateral ligament repair.

Methods:

Retrospectively, 173 patients undergoing Brostrom-Gould at single institution from January 2013 to June 2020 were identified. Patient characteristics, participation in athletic activities, surgical variables, and complications were recorded. Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Interference v1.1 (PI), Physical Function v1.2 (PF), and the Foot Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) were collected. The Brief Resilience Scale was used to quantify resilience. A linear regression model was constructed to evaluate the independent effect of resilience on each PROMIS and FAAM outcome instrument. Variables were included in the regression model based on an a priori significance threshold of P <0.05 in bivariate analysis.

Results:

Resilience's independent effect on outcome measures was as follows: PROMIS PF (unstandardized β 8.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.9 to 12.6), PROMIS PI (unstandardized β −4.8, 95% CI −7.9 to −1.7), FAAM Activities of Daily Living (unstandardized β 16.6, 95% CI 8.7 to 24.6), and FAAM Sports (unstandardized β 28.4, 95% CI 15.9 to 40.9). Preoperative participation in athletic activities also had a positive independent effect on multiple outcome metrics including PROMIS PF (unstandardized β 9.4, 95% CI 2.8 to 16.0), PROMIS PI (unstandardized β −5.3, 95% CI −10.0 to −0.582), and FAAM Sport scores (unstandardized β 34.4, 95% CI 15.4 to 53.4).

Conclusions:

Resilience and patient participation in athletic activities are independent predictors of improved postoperative functional outcomes as measured by PROMIS and FAAM instruments at intermediate term follow-up. Resilient patients and athletes reported markedly higher PF and less pain burden postoperatively. Preoperative quantification of resilience could enable improved prognostication of patients undergoing lateral ligament repair of the ankle.

Project description:PurposeTo analyze the literature to compare outcomes and complications following primary lateral ankle ligament repair compared with lateral ankle ligament reconstruction and the suture tape augmentation in patients with lateral ankle instability.MethodsFollowing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) criteria, a systematic literature review using the PubMed/Ovid Medline database was performed (October 11, 1947, to October 1, 2019). Clinical trials that included all the following criteria were considered eligible; published in the English language; patients undergoing primary lateral ankle repair or reconstruction with/without autograft or allograft (anterior talofibular ligament, anterior talofibular ligament + calcaneofibular ligament) or suture tape augmentation; a follow-up at least 1 year; reported least 1 of the measured outcomes (The American Orthopaedic Foot Ankle Score, Karlsson Score, return to sport [RTS], complications, skin wound complications, reoperation). Surgical techniques were evaluated, and studies were subdivided by the following categories: primary repair (PR), reconstruction with graft (GR), and suture tape augmentation (STA). Complications, radiographic outcomes, functional outcome scores, and RTS were analyzed.ResultsA total of 41 of 1,991 studies met the criteria for final analysis. This included 1,920 patients who underwent surgical intervention for chronic lateral instability with at least a 1-year follow-up. There were 350 patients who had GR, 1,486 who underwent the PR, and 84 who had STA. GR group appeared to have the lowest rate of complications: GR 3.1% (11 of 350), PR 4.2% (63 of 1486), and STA 10.7% (9 of 84). Postoperative American Orthopaedic Foot Ankle Score ranged from 89.0 to 95.1 for GR and 90.0 to 98.8 for PR. Postoperative Karlsson scores ranged from 80.9 to 94.4 for GR and from 89.2 to 94.1 for PR. Anterior drawer postoperative scores ranged from 1.4 to 30.3 mm for GR, 2.7 to 8.6 mm for PR, and 4.1 to 4.2 mm for STA. Postoperative talar tilt ranged from 2.4 to 7.3° for GR, 1.9 to 6.0° for PR, and 3.6 to 4.5° for STA. RTS ranged from 9.5 to 20.4 weeks for the PR group; one study reported a RTS of 10.6 weeks for STA.ConclusionsExcellent outcomes were noted across all intervention groups. Current literature may suggest there is no difference in functional outcomes between patients treated with PR versus GR. However, there may be a potential improvement in functional outcomes with PR versus STA.Level of evidenceLevel IV, systematic review of Level I to Level IV studies.

Project description:PurposeTo describe double radial tears of the lateral meniscus (LM), report early clinical treatment outcomes, and determine reoperation and failure rates.MethodsTwenty-one (N = 21) consecutive cases of arthroscopic-treated lateral meniscus double radial tears treated between 2012 and 2018 were reviewed, including 15 males (71.4%) and 6 females (28.6%). Meniscus repairs were all performed at the time of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Patients with associated fractures or prior surgeries were excluded. Concomitant injuries were reported, as were preinjury and postoperative Tegner scores, preoperative and postoperative visual analogue pain scale (VAS) scores, and postoperative International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective scores. Reoperation and failure rates were documented.ResultsTwenty-one (N = 21) tears were located in the posterior horn of the meniscus near the root attachment; 15 (71.4%) underwent all-inside repair, 4 (19.0%) underwent transtibial pull-through repair, 1 (4.8%) was partially debrided, and 1 (4.8%) was left untreated. Twenty-one tears (N = 21) were in the body of the meniscus; 7 (33.3%) were repaired, 7 (33.3%) were partially debrided, and 7 (33.3%) were left untreated. Thirteen patients (62%) had associated medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries. Mean follow-up was 2.6 years. VAS at rest and with activity improved by 2.1 points (P < .001) and 3.1 points (P = .017) after surgery. The mean postoperative Tegner activity score was 6.4, and the mean IKDC score was 83.2 at final follow-up. Reoperation was required in 5 patients (23.8%), and the surgical treatment failed in 1 patient (4.7%).ConclusionsDouble radial tears of the LM are uncommon injuries that occur in the setting of ACL tears, usually combined with MCL injury. The variety of surgical treatment techniques have a low failure rate at short-term follow-up. Patients tend to have good clinical outcomes with improvement in pain and overall function after surgically treating these injuries with simultaneous ACL reconstruction.Level of evidenceLevel IV, therapeutic study, case series.
