  • Title: [Articular ligament rupture of the ankle joint].
    Author: Bruns J, Kropshofer H, Treptow HR.
    Journal: Aktuelle Traumatol; 1983 Dec; 13(6):222-5. PubMed ID: 6142611.
    Abstract:
    We report about 142 cases of acute injuries of the fibular ligament lesions of the ankle joint treated by surgery. In 2.1% no rupture was found. A follow-up examination and X-ray examination was done after several month for 75 of these patients, and a good result without any sign of instability of the ankle joint was achieved in 84% to 86.7%. Complications were found in 2.1% (secondary healing, no further complications). In order to these results we recommend the treatment of the fibular ligament lesion by surgery.
