Anatomic Reconstruction of the Lateral Ankle Ligaments Using a Split Peroneus Brevis Tendon Graft

摘要: Fifteen patients with recurrent inversion ankle sprains and documented lateral instability were treated an anatomically oriented ligament reconstruction using a split peroneus brevis tendon graft. This is designed to augment repair of the anterior talofibular calcaneofibular ligaments without restricting subtalar motion. Of 12 available for long-term followup, all functionally improved, no recurrences instability. Stress radiographic examination at followup confirmed that mechanical stability had been restored in ankles. Eversion strength joint motion maintained after surgery. We recommend this procedure who require augmented ligaments.
