Which augmentation is more efficient for ankle lateral ligament repair: A biomecanical study
Both techniques improved ankle and subtalar varus stability as well as ankle rotational stability (p < 0.05). Compared with BG, IER further reduced talus-calcaneus and tibia-calcaneus varus rotation during VTTN and VTTF (p < 0.05), and decreased tibia-talus flexion-extension during ADT (p < 0.05) CONCLUSION: IER provided greater ankle and subtalar varus stability than BG, though both limited motions compared with intact joints.
