Radiographic Instability of the Ankle Joint After Evans' Repair

摘要: Forty-two unstable ankle joints were treated surgically by Evans' operation. The clinical postoperative results correlated with the objective radiological stress examinations. mean age of patients was 29 years (15-60 years). and follow-up examinations performed 6 months after In X-ray a modified frame used. Clinical instability noted in four patients. examination one patient had pathological finding talar tilt test 18 anterior drawer sign test. poorly subjective end results. Six estimated to have poor result Five these positive degenerative changes ankle. Although repair is simple reliable method reconstructing ruptures lateral ligaments joint, it associated relatively high frequency subluxation on examination. This can be explained anatomical geometrical factors side joint.
