Estudio biomecánico comparativo en cadáver de la reparación vs reconstrucción del ligamento talofibular anterior en inestabilidad lateral de tobillo

Résumé

Ankle sprain is one of the most frequent pathologies in the Emergency and Primary Care services. Sprains were approximately 80 % of all the ankle injuries, of which 77% are lateral sprains. The anatomical structures involved include the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) (85.3% of sprains) and the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) (34.5%).The most common mechanism of injury for lateral ankle sprain is a combined movement of forced plantar flexion, ankle inversion, and internal rotation. Most sprains resolve without sequelae with adequate conservative treatment; however, 10-50% of acute sprains lead to development of chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI)...
