Suture anchors for the repair of deltoid ligament injury: restore the stability of ankle joint

doi:10.3969/j.issn.2095-4344.2015.22.023

Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Ankle fractures combined with deltoid ligament injury are not uncommon in clinical practice, prone to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, resulting in ankle instability, chronic pain and traumatic arthritis. In recent years, because of the research and development of anatomy and biomechanical characteristics of deltoid ligament, the treatment and surgical methods of ankle fracture combined with deltoid ligament injury have progress and development, but it remains controversial.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical effect of suture anchor repair in the treatment of ankle fracture combined with deltoid ligament injury.
METHODS: Twenty-seven patients with ankle fracture combined with deltoid ligament injury were selected between January 2010 and January 2013. The lateral malleolus and posterior malleolus fracture patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation, and all the deltoid ligament injury patients were treated with anchor repair. The tibiofibular syndesmosis isolated patients received internal fixation with a cancellous bone screw.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All 27 patients were followed-up for 11-35 months, averagely 23 months. The evaluation according to the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score system showed that the excellent and good rate was 74.1%. The results indicate that anchor could perfectly restore the stability of ankle joint.
