Ankle stability in ankle fracture [PDF]
Restoration of normal ankle kinematics should be the all-encompassing ethos in the approach to management of ankle fractures. To do this, the ligamentous stabilisers must also form part of its assessment and definitive management and be considered during index fracture fixation surgery.

Arthrofibrosis of the Ankle [PDF]
Arthrofibrosis is a common, but often overlooked, condition that imparts significant morbidity following injuries and surgery to the foot and ankle. The most common etiologies are related to soft tissue trauma with subsequent fibrotic and contractile scar tissue formation within the ligaments and capsule of the ankle.

Biomechanics of the ankle [PDF]
This paper provides an introduction to the biomechanics of the ankle, introducing the bony anatomy involved in motion of the foot and ankle. The complexity of the ankle anatomy has a significant influence on the biomechanical performance of the joint, and this paper discusses the motions of the ankle joint complex, and the joints at which it is ...

Sonography of the ankle: The lateral ankle and ankle sprains [PDF]
AbstractAnkle sprains can be considered a relatively common injury particularly from sports injuries. While a sprain is generally a benign injury, symptoms can persist and lead to longāterm disability and instability. This article includes an overview of the lateral ankle including ligament and tendon anatomy, scanning technique and information on the ...

Ankle impingement is a syndrome that encompasses a wide range of anterior and posterior joint pathology involving both osseous and soft tissue abnormalities. In this review, the etiology, pathoanatomy, diagnostic workup, and treatment options for both anterior and posterior ankle impingement syndromes are discussed.

Ankle Arthroscopy for Ankle Fractures
In many patients who undergo open reduction-internal fixation of ankle fractures, there is a failure to achieve good clinical outcomes despite radiographic evidence of anatomic reduction. One possible reason for this is the high incidence of concomitant intra-articular pathology associated with ankle fractures that may go unrecognized using traditional

Ankle arthritis is a major source of morbidity impacting a younger working age population than hip and knee arthritis. Unlike the hip and knee, more than 70% of ankle arthritis cases are post-traumatic, with the remainder being inflammatory or primary arthritis. Nonoperative treatment begins with lifestyle and shoe-wear modifications and progresses to

The test-retest reliability of different ankle joint center location techniques [PDF]
Accurate and reliable joint identification is imperative for the collection of meaningful kinetic and kinematic data. Of the lower kinetic chain both the hip and knee joints have received a considerable amount of attention in 3D modelling.
