Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

1.8K
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...

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

5.0K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Chronic lateral ankle instability often requires anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) reconstruction.
  • Conventional autografts using peroneal tendons risk donor site morbidity.
  • Existing methods may not fully restore the ATFL's complex anatomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel technique for ATFL reconstruction using the fibularis tertius tendon.
  • To present a V-shaped double-bundle anatomic reconstruction method.
  • To evaluate the potential for minimizing donor morbidity and preserving peroneal tendon integrity.

Main Methods:

  • Technical note detailing a V-shaped double-bundle reconstruction.
  • Utilizing the fibularis tertius tendon as the autograft source.
  • Anatomic reconstruction approach to restore ATFL function.

Main Results:

  • The fibularis tertius tendon provides a viable graft for ATFL reconstruction.
  • This technique restores the multifascicular nature of the ATFL.
  • Minimizes donor site morbidity compared to traditional peroneal tendon grafts.

Conclusions:

  • Fibularis tertius tendon autograft is a safe and effective option for ATFL reconstruction.
  • This V-shaped double-bundle technique offers anatomic restoration and preserves donor site integrity.
  • It provides biomechanical strength comparable to traditional autografts with reduced morbidity.
