Abstrakt:	The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in annual incidence and patient population undergoing lateral ankle ligament repair (LALR) for the surgical treatment of chronic ankle instability. The IBM Watson Health MarketScan Database was queried for patients who underwent LALR from January 2009 to December 2019 based on CPT code 27698. Volume and incidence per 100 000 population were determined for annual sums, gender, age, and geographical regions based on population estimates from the United States Census Bureau. Future annual volumes were statistically projected with linear regression modeling to the year 2032. Overall, 160 457 LALR procedures were identified in the database from 2009 to 2019. Annual incidence increased 76.6% from 3.46 to 6.11 cases per 100 000 population, while estimates of annual volumes are projected to increase 61.5% from 19 829 to 32 033 procedures to the year 2032. Interestingly, the greatest increase in incidence was observed among patients above 70 years old, which might suggest older patients are staying active longer and desiring elective procedures to maintain their activity levels. As the incidence of LALR increases in older patients, more research will be needed to understand the unique surgical considerations and risk factors impacting patient-reported outcomes.
