Endoscopic anatomic ligament reconstruction is a reliable option to treat chronic lateral ankle instability KU Leuven
Most amateur football teams do not implement essential components of neuromuscular training to prevent anterior cruciate ligament injuries and lateral ankle sprains Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen Universiteit Gent
PURPOSE: Neuromuscular training (NMT) is effective at reducing football injuries. The purpose of this study was to document the use of NMT to prevent anterior cruciate ligament injuries and lateral ankle sprains in adult amateur football and to identify barriers for using NMT.
METHODS: A preseason and in-season online survey was completed by players and coaches of 164 football teams. The survey contained questions concerning injury ...
Four-dimensional CT as a valid approach to detect and quantify kinematic changes after selective ankle ligament sectioning Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The objective of the current study was to explore the potential of dynamic computed tomography to detect kinematic changes, induced by sequential sectioning of the lateral collateral ligaments of the ankle, during full motion sequence of the talocrural joint. A custom-made device was used to induce cyclic controlled ankle inversion movement in one fresh frozen cadaver leg. A 256-slice CT scanner was used to investigate four different ...

Ankle and midfoot ligaments Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We present a detailed overview of anatomical and US features of ankle and midfoot ligaments based on our own dissections and cadaver studies as well as US imaging in cadavers and volunteers. The ligament anatomy about the ankle and midfoot is complex. Most ligaments are superficial and hence very well accessible for US. US technique to obtain optimal visualization however is difficult and requires a learning curve. We discuss US technique in ...
Sonography of the normal ankle: a target approach using bony reference points Vrije Universiteit Brussel
CONCLUSION. In this article, we discuss these positions and illustrate them with drawings, anatomic slices or dissection, and sonograms. Positions studied include those for best imaging of the anterior tibiotalar joint, anterior tibiofibular ligament, anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ...
