The lateral collateral ligament injury is often encountered, but treated as distorsion.
Imperfect treatment results in instability and secondary osteoarthritis of the ankle joint.
The clinical and radiographic results were reviewed in 24 patients of 37 injuries treated with primary suture of the lateral collateral ligament.
The mean talar tilt angle improved to 5.2 degrees from 14.4 degrees, and the mean anterior drawer distance, to 4 millimeters from 7 millimeters. Post-traumatic instability was improved and clinical symptoms were decreased. We concluded that primary suture to acute injury of the collateral ligaments of the ankle joint Can result in stability and may prevent secondary osteoarthritis in the future.
