概要	PURPOSE:The relationship between ligament remnant quality and postoperative outcomes after arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament repair for chronic lateral ankle instability is controversial. This study aimed to determine whether the signal intensity of the anterior talofibular ligament on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and ligament remnant quality identified on arthroscopy are associated with recurrent ankle instability after arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament repair.METHODS:A total of 68 ankles from 67 patients with chronic lateral ankle instability who underwent arthroscopic lateral ankle ligament repair were retrospectively studied. The signal intensity of the anterior talofibular ligament was evaluated using T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Arthroscopy was used to evaluate the thickness and mechanical resistance of the anterior talofibular ligament by hook palpation and to classify ankles into two groups: the present anterior talofibular ligament group with adequate mechanical resistance and the absent anterior talofibular ligament group with no mechanical resistance. The outcomes included recurrent ankle instability (respraining of the operated ankle after surgery) and Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire scores.RESULTS:Thirteen ankles were diagnosed with recurrent ankle instability. Patients with a high anterior talofibular ligament T2 signal intensity experienced more recurrent ankle instability than those with a low intensity. As determined via arthroscopy, the absent anterior talofibular ligament group had a higher rate of recurrent ankle instability than the present anterior talofibular ligament group. There were no significant differences in Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire scores between patients with high and low anterior talofibular ligament T2 signal intensity, as well as between absent and present anterior talofibular ligament groups based on arthroscopy.CONCLUSION:Poor quality of the anterior talofibular lig
