Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Autologous peroneus brevis and allogeneic tendon are often used for reconstruction of lateral collateral ligament of the ankle joint, but these two kinds of materials have different histological and biomechanical properties.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical effects of autologous peroneus brevis and allogeneic tendon to reconstruct lateral collateral ligament of the ankle joint.
METHODS: Sixty-six patients with chronic external ankle instability caused by old injury to lateral collateral ligament of the ankle joint were enrolled, aged 15-63 years. The 34 of 66 patients underwent lateral ligament reconstruction using autologous peroneus brevis and the rest 32 patients received lateral ligament reconstruction using allogeneic tendon. After reconstruction, reaction time of the peroneous brevis, talar tilt angle and anterior talar translation, visual analog scale score and the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At the last follow-up, the visual analog scale score, tilt angle and anterior talar translation were lowered in the two groups compared with the previous (P < 0.05), and the AOFAS scores were increased significantly in the two groups (P < 0.05); the reaction time of the peroneous brevis was increased in 
the autologous peroneus brevis group (P < 0.05) and decreased in the allogeneic tendon group (P < 0.05); the above-mentioned indexes had no difference between the two groups. These findings indicate that autologous peroneus brevis and allogeneic tendon have similar effects on the lateral ligament reconstruction in terms of postoperative ankle function, stability and activity levels, but the allogeneic tendon shows advantages on less trauma and shorter operation time.
