足関節脛腓靱帯損傷の治療経験について

抄録

We experienced nine cases of the distal tibiofibular ligament injury. The patients comprised of four fresh cases who visited our clinic within seven days after the injury and other five cases visited us later than a month after the injury. Among them, four cases were treated by operative procedure with tibia bolts, and other four cases by conservative treatment with plaster cast. One case refused our treatment.
The result was as follows: All of four operated cases showed good results with very little discomfort, but no limitation in their activity of daily living. Three of conservatively treated cases showed excellent results without any complaints, and another one showed good results. The last one who refused our treatment showed poor results with limitation of ankle motions.
