Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Sports medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Acute lateral ligament injuries of the ankle are common, particularly in young individuals and athletes.
  • These injuries can lead to chronic instability and pain if not treated effectively.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the results of ligamentoplasty and ligamentorrhaphy for ankle injuries.
  • To evaluate this surgical technique as a treatment for acute lateral ligament ankle injuries.

Main Methods:

  • A surgical technique involving ligamentoplasty and ligamentorrhaphy was performed.
  • The procedure was conducted on 32 ankles between January 1990 and August 1991.

Main Results:

  • The study details the outcomes of the described surgical procedures.
