Augmented Ligament Reconstruction Partially Restores Hindfoot and Midfoot Kinematics After Lateral Ligament Ruptures KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Altered kinematics and persisting ankle instability have been associated with degenerative changes and osteochondral lesions. PURPOSE: To study the effect of ligament reconstruction surgery with suture tape augmentation (isolated anterior talofibular ligament [ATFL] vs combined ATFL and calcaneofibular ligament [CFL]) after lateral ligament ruptures (combined ATFL and CFL) on foot-ankle kinematics during simulated gait. STUDY DESIGN: ...
