Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes01:28

Muscles of the Leg that Move the Foot and Toes

The human leg comprises an intricate system of muscles that facilitate the movement of feet and toes. Within this system, the muscles are categorized into the anterior, lateral, and posterior compartments, each with a unique set of muscles carrying out specific functions.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Lateral ankle instability is a prevalent condition often requiring surgical intervention when conservative methods are insufficient.
  • Various surgical techniques exist for lateral ankle stabilization, aiming to restore joint stability and function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical outcomes of autologous split peroneus longus tendon transfer for lateral ankle stabilization.
  • To assess the efficacy and patient satisfaction following this specific surgical reconstruction technique.

Main Methods:

  • A review of 25 consecutive patients undergoing autologous split peroneus longus lateral ankle stabilization by two surgeons.
  • Surgical technique aimed to anatomically recreate the anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments.
  • Minimum follow-up of 12 months (mean 29.5 months) with outcome interviews.

Main Results:

  • 92.0% of patients reported good or excellent outcomes.
  • No recurrent sprains or difficulties with inclines were reported by 92.0% of patients.
  • 88.0% experienced no issues with uneven terrain, indicating restored ankle function.

Conclusions:

  • Autologous split peroneus longus lateral ankle stabilization provides a stable ankle with high patient satisfaction.
  • This technique demonstrates a low complication rate and effective functional recovery for lateral ankle instability.
  • The procedure successfully recreates key ligaments, leading to positive long-term results.
