Meta-analysis of the clinical efficacy and safety of anatomical reconstruction and repair in the treatment of chronic lateral instability of the ankle joint
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of anatomical repair and anatomical reconstruction through Meta-analysis.Methods Systematically search PubMed,Embase,Wanfang database,China National Knowledge Infrastructure and other databases were used to obtain the relevant literature in the treatment of chronic lateral instability of the ankle joint with anatomical repair and reconstruction from the establishment of each database to December 2022,and Revman 5.4 and R 4.2 software were used for Meta-analysis.Results Eight articles were finally included in this paper.All were randomized controlled trials.The results of Meta-analysis showed that:there were statistically significant differences between anatomical repair and anatomical reconstruction in the anterior talar translation (MD=0.54,95%CI:0.27-0.81,P<0.01),talus tilt angle (MD=0.36,95%CI:0.07-0.66,P=0.02),and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society scale (MD=-4.79,95%CI:-6.58--3.01,P<0.01),but there was no statistically significant difference in complications (RR=1.13,95%CI:0.32-3.97,P=0.85).Conclusion Anatomical reconstruction is superior to anatomical repair in clinical efficacy,while the risk of complications is comparable between two.
