In these 52 patients the angle of tilt on the stress X-ray was compared with the rate of MRI findings showing an injury affecting two ligaments. We found that none of the patients in whom the angle of lateral tilt was less than 5 had rupture of two laterial ligaments, while 32% of ...
The foot and ankle form complex joints that are involved in movement and providing stability and balance to the body. The foot and ankle consist of 26 bones, 33 joints, and many muscles, tendons, and ligaments. View More Procedures Achilles Tendon Repair Aerobics Ankle Arthrodesis Ankle Arthrosco...
There are three sets of ligaments that hold the ankle together (figure 3), and each can be injured. The most frequently injured ligaments in the ankle are those located on the outer, or lateral, side of the ankle. When this lateral ligament complex is injured, a patient is said to have...

bones are held together at the ankle joint by ligaments, which are strong elastic bands of connective tissue that keep the bones in place while allowing normal ankle motion. Tendons attach muscles to the bones to do the work of making the ankle and foot move, and help keep the joints ...
Tendons and ligaments attach to bones with truss units as an actual anatomic relationship. Joint contact effects were simulated by setting hard contact between both joint bones. A total of 23,047 elements and 6,821 nodes were used for the bone, cartilage and ligament establishments (Table 1)....
A graft is used to recreate or reinforce the lateral ankle ligaments. Among the tissues used are half of or the entire peroneus brevis or peroneus longus, the plantaris, slips of the extensor digitorum longus, hamstring tendons,fascialata,allograft, and artificial ligaments. If present, the origi...

These acute injuries might lead to chronic articular injuries like anterior and posterior impingement, osteochondral defects of the talus and sinus tarsi syndrome. Acute and chronic tendon ...
(ankle bone). The bones are cushioned by cartilage and connected by a number of ligaments, tendons, and muscles that strengthen the joint and enable it to be moved. Because it is in almost constant use, the ankle is particularly susceptible to injuries, such assprainandfracture. It is also...
