Abstract

Recent studies have stressed the important role of the deltoid ligament in maintaining global ankle stability. However, controversy remains around whether deltoid ligament repair is necessary in addition to syndesmotic repair when addressing injuries that disrupt both the syndesmosis and deltoid ligament. Prior biomechanical studies have shown that significant ankle instability occurs with deltoid ligament disruption but have come short of examining the effects of deltoid ligament repair with or without syndesmosis repair.
