Surgical strategy regarding chronic lateral ankle instability is undergoing an evolution from traditional open procedures to minimally invasive and arthroscopic techniques. The development of arthroscopic techniques for the ankle mirrors the processes witnessed for the shoulder and knee over the last 30 years. The arthroscopic Brostrom is a novel technique that allows the surgeon to use an arthroscope to perform a lateral ankle ligament reconstruction that was previously thought possible only through open surgical technique. Indications and contraindications for the arthroscopic technique are essentially the same as those for an open Brostrom type of procedure. The arthroscopic Brostrom procedure is easy to remember and relatively simple to perform for the surgeon who has mastered basic ankle arthroscopy. The authors' results discussed in this article reveal that the arthroscopic Brostrom is a safe and effective procedure with outcomes at least equal to published results for traditional open techniques. Level of Evidence: Level V, expert opinion.
