  • Title: The split peroneus longus lateral ankle stabilization procedure.
    Author: Yu GV, Lynn JA, Thornton D, Choos JN.
    Journal: J Foot Ankle Surg; 1994; 33(3):298-313. PubMed ID: 8081340.
    Abstract:
    The authors present an interesting approach to lateral ankle stabilization using the peroneus longus tendon. The more commonly utilized procedures for instability of the ankle complex, rationale for use of the peroneus longus tendon, and the details of the split peroneus longus lateral ankle stabilization procedure are presented. When evaluating patients with lateral ankle joint instability, the subtalar joint (STJ) complex needs to be assessed. In addition, the role of STJ instability and its relationship to lateral ankle joint instability are discussed.
