【 摘 要 】

Category:ArthroscopyIntroduction/Purpose:The gold standard for chronic lateral ankle ligament injury is ligament repair via the modified Broström- Gould procedure. Recently, lateral ankle ligament repair has been performed arthroscopically. This requires the insertion of one to three suture anchors in the fibula from anterior to posterior via the accessory portal. It is important to insert the suture anchors completely into the fibula bone. Because the distal fibula is tapered and has a fossa on the posterior surface, unfavorable insertional direction of the suture anchor can lead to complications such as inadequate suture anchor stability or friction between the suture anchor and the peroneus tendons. This study aimed to investigate the distance between the insertion point of the suture anchors and the posterior surface of the fibula on computed tomography (CT) images.Methods:Twenty ankles from 16 patients who had undergone three-dimensional CT scans for foot or ankle disorders without deformity of the f...
