The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mid-term therapeutic effectiveness of arthroscopic ATFL repair with open Brostr\u00f6m-Gould repair for chronic lateral ankle instability.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We retrospectively reviewed the database of patients with chronic lateral ankle instability undergoing repair of the ATFL from June 2014 to June 2018. The choice of surgical approach will depend on computer-generated randomization. In total, 49 patients underwent the arthroscopic Brostrom-Gould technique (group AB), while the other 50 patients underwent the open Brostr\u00f6m-Gould technique (group OB). The surgery duration, hospitalization time, postoperative complications, the preoperative\/postoperative manual anterior drawer test (ADT), Visual analog scale (VAS) scores, American Orthopaedic Foot &amp;amp; Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, Karlsson-Peterson (K-P) scores, and Tegner activity scores were collected for comparative analysis during the follow-up period of 48 months.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>At the final follow-up, the clinical outcomes, including ADT, VAS, AOFAS, K-P, and Tegner activity scores, were significantly improved after either arthroscopic or open treatment. Specifically, the AOFAS and K-P scores in the group AB were significantly higher than those in the group OB at 6 months post-surgery (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). Additionally, there were no significant differences in other clinical outcomes and postoperative complications between the two
