Sixty patients with chronic lateral functional and me chanical instability of the ankle joint were treated with shortening and reinsertion of the lateral ankle ligaments. All patients were followed prospectively for 2 to 5 years (mean, 3 years 6 months). We found the functional results to be excellent or good in 53 patients (88%). Patients with unsatisfactory results had either general ized joint hypermobility or long-standing ligament insuf ficiency.
Anterior talar translation (ATT) and talar tilt (TT) were measured radiologically on standardized radiographs. Patients with excellent and good functional results had better mechanical stability, both ATT and TT, than those with fair and poor functional results. A good correlation was found between clinical, functional, and radiological results.
In conclusion we found that reconstruction of the ankle stability by shortening and reinsertion of the lateral ankle ligaments is a safe and simple method and is a good alternative to other more complex methods of ligament reconstruction. The method should, how ever, be used with great care in patients with general ized joint hypermobility or in patients with long-standing ligament insufficiency.
