Objective This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing lateral ankle ligament injuries and the effect of differences in time duration from injury to MRI. Methods Data were collected prospectively from 82 patients who underwent MRI and lateral ligament reconstruction, and were divided into either acute (≤3 months) or chronic (>3 months) group base...

the aim of this study is to compare three modes of femoral fixation, namely aperfix, rigidfix and endobutton, in anterior cruciate ligament (acl) reconstruction. 120 patients were randomly assigned to three groups, each consisting of 40 patients, and each group was treated by one of the above mentioned methods of femoral fixation. all patients were examined prior to and 24 months after surgery,...

This study presents the ankle ligament strains and ankle joint moments during an accidental injury event diagnosed as a grade I anterior talofibular ligament (ATaFL) sprain. A male athlete accidentally sprained his ankle while performing a cutting motion in a laboratory setting. The kinematic data were input to a three-dimensional rigid-body foot model for simulation analyses. Maximum strains i...

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether the number and thickness ligament bands lateral ankle ligaments are symmetrical between contralateral uninjured ankles same healthy person, using sonography. Materials Methods: investigated include anterior talofibular (ATFL), calcaneofibular (CFL), inferior tibiofibular (AITFL). influence age, sex, height, weight, body mass index, hours...

BACKGROUND MRI analysis of subtalar ligaments in the tarsal sinus has not been well performed. We retrospectively investigated the appearance of subtalar ligaments using 3D isotropic MRI and compared imaging findings of subtalar ligaments between patients with subtalar instability (STI) and controls. METHODS Preoperative MRIs of 23 STI patients treated with arthroscopic subtalar reconstructio...

Abstract Background Measuring the strain patterns of ligaments at various joint positions informs our understanding their function. However, few studies have examined biomechanical properties ankle ligaments; further, tensile each ligament, during motion, not been described. This limitation exists because current sensors are too big to insert within ankle. The present study aimed validate a nov...
