Summary

To demonstrate the functional results of patients with ankle fractures operated with arthroscopic deltoid repair.

Conditions

  • Ankle Injuries
  • Ankle Fractures
  • Deltoid Ligament; Sprain (Strain) (Ankle)
  • Ligament Rupture

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Arthroscopic Deltoid Repair

. A 4.5 mm arthroscopic set was used to clean the joint and assess medial and associated injuries. After deltoid injury confirmation through the method already mentioned, the medial gutter was prepared. The ideal positioning for the bone anchor in the medial malleolus followed Vega's recommendations and was located in the inferolateral quadrant created by the intersection of two lines: (1) tibia-talar joint line and (2) tangent line to the medial malleolus joint surface.(14). Sutures were passed respecting the safe zone illustrated by Acevedo at al, at the area between the posterior tibial tendon and the saphenous vein (16-25mm) (15). Sutures were passed but not tightened.
