The impact of lateral ankle ligament injuries on ankle stability and talar cartilage stress: a finite element analysis of combined injury mechanisms
The superior Fascicle of the ATFL is the primary restraint for anterior stability; the CFL dominates rotational stability; combined injuries trigger a biomechanical cascade failure; lateral ankle ligament injuries lead to increased contact stress on the anteromedial talar cartilage, contributing to the development of arthritis.
