Anterior Talofibular Ligament Ruptures, Part 2: Biomechanical Comparison of Anterior Talofibular Ligament Reconstruction Using Semitendinosus Allografts With the Intact Ligament

Anatomic reconstructions of the lateral ankle ligaments with grafts have been proposed for patients with generalized ligamentous laxity, long-standing instability with attenuated native tissues, varus hindfoot misalignment, or failed prior lateral ligament surgery and for very large patients or elite athletes because of increased demands. This study found that anatomic reconstruction of the ATFL with [...]

Anterior Talofibular Ligament Ruptures, Part 1: Biomechanical Comparison of Augmented Broström Repair Techniques with the Intact Anterior Talofibular Ligament

drhaytmanek2021-04-12T09:24:15-06:00

The concept of utilizing nonabsorbable suture tape fixed directly to bone to augment Brostrom repairs of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) has been proposed. No biomechanical studies of this technique are available. We hypothesized that suture tape augmentation alone and Brostrom repair with suture tape augmentation would have similar biomechanical properties to the intact ATFL at [...]

Radiographic Identification of the Primary Structures of the Ankle Syndesmosis

drhaytmanek2021-04-12T09:24:15-06:00

The purpose of this study was to quantitatively describe the locations of the syndesmotic ligaments and the tibiofibular articulating cartilage surfaces on standard radiographic views using reproducible radiographic landmarks and reference axes. Quantitative radiographic guidelines describing the locations of the primary syndesmotic structures demonstrated excellent reliability and reproducibility. Defined guidelines provide additional clinically relevant information regarding [...]

Radiographic Identification of the Primary Lateral Ankle Structures

drhaytmanek2021-04-12T09:24:15-06:00

Lateral ankle ligament injuries rank among the most frequently observed athletic injuries that require repair or reconstruction. However, there is a lack of quantitative data detailing the ligament attachment sites on standard radiographic views. This study quantitatively describes the anatomic attachment sites of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), and posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL) [...]
