Arthroscopic Modified Broström Repair with Suture-Tape Augmentation of the Calcaneofibular Ligament for Lateral Ankle Instability.

Surgical repair of acute or chronic lateral instability of the ankle may be unsuccessful in the presence of associated anterior fibulotalar ligament (AFTL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) injury. This Technical Note presents an arthroscopic double-row repair technique of the AFTL associated with suture tape augmentation of the CFL. The patient is in the supine position with the ankle hanging over the edge of the surgical table.

Arthroscopic Double-Row Repair for Acute Proximal Detachment of the Lateral Collateral Ligament in a Complex Ankle Sprain.

Management of ankle sprains is still being discussed. For athletes, recent studies recommend surgical treatment for acute grade III rupture, because of better long-term ankle stability. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the arthroscopic acute double-row repair for proximal disinsertion of collateral lateral ligament ankle.

Re-injury after arthroscopic anatomical reconstruction of the lateral ankle ligaments treated by a new arthroscopic anatomical reconstruction: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Lateral ankle ligament reconstruction failures are increasingly frequent. To our knowledge no reports of using a new arthroscopic anatomical reconstruction with a gracilis autograft to treat an ankle re-injury have been described.

Case Presentation: A 19-year-old man presented with a right ankle injury resulting in isolated lateral ankle instability.

Prospective analysis of intraoperative radiation dose in foot and ankle surgery using mini-C-arm fluoroscopy. Continuous series of 1064 procedures.

Introduction: Foot and ankle surgeons make daily use of mini-C-arm fluoroscopes. The present study aimed to quantify associated radiation doses.

Hypothesis: X-ray exposure for foot and ankle surgeons using a mini-C-arm fluoroscope is below the nuclear safety authority authorized doses of 20 mSv/year for the whole body and crystalline lens, 150 mSv/year for the thyroid and 500 mSv/year for the skin and limbs.

Functional outcome of displaced radial head fractures in children treated by elastic stable intramedullary nailing.

The objectives of this study were to retrospectively investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of displaced radial head fractures in children treated by elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) and evaluate the functional outcome of these injuries using the short version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand outcome questionnaire (Quick DASH). A total of 24 patients (nine males and 15 females) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The mean age at the time of injury was 10.
