Morphometric Study of the Lumbar Posterior Longitudinal Ligament
Objective Morphometric data for the lumbar posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) was investigated to identify whether there is a difference in the morphometry of the PLL of the lumbar spine at each level with respect to the pattern of intervertebral disc displacement. Methods In 14 formalin-fixed adult cadavers (12 males and 2 females), from L1 to L5, the authors measured the width and height...
متن کاملReconstruction of the anterior talofibular ligament for the treatment of the unstable ankle.
Chronic instability of the ankle is frequently due to disruption of the fibres of the anterior talofibular ligament and the anterolateral capsule. This allows momentary subluxations at the ankle joint; the talus tilts into an abnormal varus position and rotates forwards and inwards about a vertical axis which passes through the medial malleolus. The use of a free tendon graft to reconstruct the...
متن کاملThe use of MRI in pre-operative evaluation of anterior talofibular ligament in chronic ankle instability
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the applicability of MRI for the quantitative assessment of anterior talofibular ligaments (ATFLs) in symptomatic chronic ankle instability (CAI). METHODS Between 1997 and 2010, 39 patients with symptomatic CAI underwent surgical treatment (22 male, 17 female, mean age 25.4 years (15 to 40)). In all patients, the maximum diameters of the ATFLs were measured on pre-opera...
متن کاملBiomechanical analysis of the ankle anterior drawer test for anterior talofibular ligament injuries.
The effect of sectioning the anterior talofibular ligament on the load-displacement behavior of the ankle was evaluated in vitro during the anterior drawer test using the flexibility approach. Controlled forces were applied across the ankle joint in the anterior-posterior direction, and the resulting displacements were measured at four flexion angles (10 degrees of dorsiflexion, neutral, and 10...
متن کاملAllograft tendon reconstruction of the anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular Ligament in the treatment of chronic ankle instability
BACKGROUND The purpose was retrospectively to investigate functional and clinical outcomes after anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) reconstruction using a single allograft. METHODS Patients with severe chronic lateral instability of the ankle underwent surgery after conservative treatment failed. Ultrasounds of the ankle were performed, and if the AFTL and...
