Lateral Ankle Ligament Reconstruction using Achilles Allograft for Chronic failed Instability - Two Cases Report -

동종 아킬레스건을 이용한 만성 족관절 불안정성의 외측인대 재건술 -2예 보고-

We performed lateral ankle ligament reconstructions using Achilles allograft on patients who had failed previous Brostrom repair. The bone plug is fixed with an interference screw into the calcaneus, the tendon graft is passed through a fibular tunnel, and then anchored into the talus with the biotenodesis screw. The graft is strong enough to maintain joint stability until graft incorporation and remodeling occurs. In patients with chronic failed lateral ankle instability requiring graft for ligament reconstruction, this technique allows anatomic reconstruction without the need to sacrifice autogenous peroneal tendons.
