Abstract:
This article deals with the treatment of a chronically failed deltoid ligament complex in the valgus misaligned ankle. This is a challenging task in every orthopedic foot and ankle surgery. Before embarking on any surgery that relates to the deltoid ligament complex, it is mandatory to analyze any underlying cause that could promote the impairment. Once this is done, it might be of value in considering anatomic reconstructions. The article provides an anatomic reconstruction technique, which should help address the problem.
