summary
The anatomic reconstruction technique of the lateral collateral ligament of the ankle is to reconstruct the anatomic origin and insertion of the ligament by creating bone tunnels (fibula, talus, and calcaneus) and then transposing/grafting the tendon to the anatomic alignment of the original ligament by tendon transposition or grafting in a predetermined stepwise fashion; the tendon is transposed to the anatomic alignment of the original ligament by tendon transposition or grafting;
Transplanted tendons include popliteal, femoral, Achilles, and allograft tendons.
Fixation methods include Sutures, Suture Anchor, Graftloop, and Interference Screw extrusion fixation
The target of the procedure are restoration of ankle stability, no restriction of ankle and subtalar joint motion, and preservation of the local anatomical integrity of the ankle joint and biomechanical environment.
