Ankle Joint

3.6K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Anatomy
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Arthroscopic techniques for lateral ankle ligament repair are established.
  • Previous studies have not evaluated the ArthroBroström procedure's anatomic safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define safe zones for the ArthroBroström technique.
  • To assess the proximity of critical structures during this arthroscopic repair.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive laboratory study using 10 human cadaveric ankles.
  • Arthroscopic ArthroBroström repair with 2 suture anchors.
  • Dissection and measurement of distances to suture knots and anatomic structures.

Main Results:

  • No critical structures (nerves, tendons) were entrapped by suture knots.
  • Mean internervous safe zone: 51 mm; intertendinous safe zone: 43 mm.
  • Inferior extensor retinaculum was included in 86% of repairs.

Conclusions:

  • The ArthroBroström technique offers wide safe zones for lateral ankle stabilization.
  • The procedure does not endanger critical nerves or tendons.
  • Defines safe zones, enhancing surgeon confidence in arthroscopic repair.
