IPIE demonstrated an overall survival rate of 83% at 5 years with no difference in the recurrence of instability regardless of hyperextension. This study highlighted the effectiveness of using thicker inserts to resolve instability without significant differences in the ROM or clinical scores between the groups, suggesting its potential as a decision-making reference for surgeons.
