Description
Summary:Despite reports of clinical success, biochemical studies have demonstrated that repair of the tissue is weaker than the native anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and is subject to elongation after surgery. [...]failure of the repair and recurrent instability have been reported in cohorts of patients with chronic pain and decreased function. Preoperative planning Prior to surgery, a thorough history and physical examination are performed to identify any concomitant injuries, such as osteochondral lesions, peroneal tendon pathology and/or deltoid ligament sprain.
