The Broström operation (or Broström-Gould technique) is a repair of ligaments on lateral ankle. It is designed to address ankle instability. More importantly, it is primarily used to repair the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) in the ankle. It is thought that the majority of patients regain most function in their ankles.
The anterior talofibular ligament attaches the anterior margin of the lateral malleolus to the adjacent region of the talus bone. The most common ligament involved in ankle sprain is the anterior talofibular ligament. posterior talofibular ligament; The posterior talofibular ligament runs horizontally between the neck of the talus and the ...
The anterior talofibular ligament is a ligament in the ankle. It passes from the anterior margin of the fibular malleolus , passing anteromedially to insert at the lateral aspect of the talus at the talar neck , in front of its lateral articular facet.
The Evans technique is a surgical procedure to treat the mechanical instability of the lateral ankle ligaments. [1] [2]In the Evans procedure, [3] the peroneus brevis muscle is separated from its musculotendinous compound and its proximal end is sutured to the peroneus longus.
When this type of ankle sprain happens, the outer, or lateral, ligaments are stretched too much. The anterior talofibular ligament is one of the most commonly involved ligaments in this type of sprain, followed by the calcaneofibular ligament [10] and posterior talofibular ligament [10] respectively, the later found in more severe ankle sprains ...
Of all major joints, the ankle is the most commonly injured. If the outside surface of the foot is twisted under the leg during weight bearing, the lateral ligament, especially the anterior talofibular portion, is subject to tearing (a sprain) as it is weaker than the medial ligament and it resists inward rotation of the talocrural joint.
Talofibular ligament can refer to: Anterior talofibular ligament (ligamentum talofibulare anterius) Posterior talofibular ligament (ligamentum talofibulare posterius)
The primary usage of modern artificial ligaments is in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Many artificial ligaments seek to mimic or exceed the performance of the native ACL . [ 5 ] The mechanical performance of an artificial ligament can be characterized by abrasion resistance, withstanding flexural and rotational fatigue , [ 2 ] and ...
