What is a modified brostrome?
Modified Brostrome is an ankle reconstruction that a doctor can recommend to a patient with severely unstable ankles that do not respond to more conservative treatment. In this procedure, the surgeon of the legs and ankle will shorten the bonds and tendons and may have to harvest the material from another place to replace the severely damaged liga, depending on the patient's case. After recovery, the patient should feel much more stable, retaining a normal range of movement in the ankle. Patients can continue the competition in athletic events and participate in a number of other activities after a modified brostrome.
When a patient sees an ankle instability, early treatment steps are usually conservative. The physician may recommend physical therapy, recording, tiles, and stiffening to see if he will solve this problem. If it is clear that the patient's ankle will not respond to these treatments, surgery is possible. Surgical consultation will include a imaging study of ankle that allows doctors to see,What is happening inside the joint, as well as discussions about available procedures.
In a modified brostrome, the surgeon is a small open cut to access the bonds surrounding the ankle. If they are still in good condition, the surgeon can be able to tighten them to solve instability, to anchor them in a part of the joint to make sure they stay in place. Donor tissue is required in patients with poorly torn or stretched ties. With brostrome comes the tissue from the patient, while other patients may need to use the cadaver tissue.
After modified brostrome surgery, the patient will wear a splint for several days so that the surgeon can check the ankle and control swelling in the early stages of recovery. The surgeon may decide to switch to the cast to keep the ankle in the position, or be able to reserve with reinforcement and occupation depending on the situation. Patients will need treatment of pain to control postoperative painI and physical activity are usually limited for up to six months.
The results with a modified brostrome are variable. Some patients experience significant improvements and do not need surgery again. Others may develop instability in the future due to the nature of their work or factors, such as the connective tissue disorder, which leads to re -stretching. The surgeon can apply for a periodic subsequent meeting to check the ankle.
