Abstract
|
|
|
|
We performed lateral ankle ligament reconstructions using Achilles allograft on patients who had failed previous Brostrom repair. The bone plug is fixed with an interference screw into the calcaneus, the tendon graft is passed through a fibular tunnel, and then anchored into the talus with the biotenodesis screw. The graft is strong enough to maintain joint stability until graft incorporation and remodeling occurs. In patients with chronic failed lateral ankle instability requiring graft for ligament reconstruction, this technique allows anatomic reconstruction without the need to sacrifice autogenous peroneal tendons.
