  • Title: Split peroneus brevis transfer: nonosseous ankle stabilization procedure.
    Author: Wilson MK, Smith WK, Johnston WB, Huffmyer JH.
    Journal: J Foot Surg; 1982; 21(4):324-9. PubMed ID: 7186923.
    Abstract:
    There have been numerous articles written on surgical reconstruction of the lateral collateral ligaments. This paper discusses a different type of lateral ankles stabilization procedure performed on 19 patients at Doctors General Hospital, with mean follow-up of 14 months. The procedure is done entirely with soft tissue; no osseous structures are involved. The authors have utilized tendon, particularly part of the peroneous brevis tendon, to reinforce the lateral capsule and collateral ligaments. It is this technique and some modifications that are presented.
