Bovine tendon lateral ankle stabilization procedure: xenograft bioprosthesis model GR 6 mm

A surgical technique utilizing a bovine xenograft bioprosthesis has been developed for stabilizing a chronically unstable lateral ankle. With this new technique, minimal dissection of adjacent soft tissue is required, and the method allows for tissue ingrowth for strength and anastomosis to bone. However, a longer period of non-weightbearing is required to prevent inadequate incorporation of the graft.
