  • Title: Reconstruction of the lateral ligaments of the ankle using a regional periosteal flap.
    Author: Rudert M, Wülker N, Wirth CJ.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1997 May; 79(3):446-51. PubMed ID: 9180327.
    Abstract:
    We have treated 94 patients with chronic instability of the lateral side of the ankle by reconstruction of the ligaments with local periosteal tissue. We reviewed 90 cases after a mean follow-up of 2.8 years (2 to 9) using a questionnaire, clinical examination and radiography. The results on a 100-point ankle score indicated that 81% had a good or excellent result. The periosteal flap-replacement technique allows anatomical reconstruction and does not sacrifice other ligaments or tendons in the foot.
