“…[35][36][37][38] The tendon sheath is wrapped with suture to approximate the split tendon fibers and restore tendon integrity. 39 However, when < 50% healthy tendon remains, excision of the damaged tendon can be attempted, and the healthy proximal and distal stumps can be anchored to the adjacent remaining peroneal PL tendon. 16,37 Proximal tenodesis is typically done 3 to 4 cm above the tip of the lateral malleolus, with the distal tenodesis 5 to 6 cm below the tip of the lateral malleolus to avoid fibular impingement.…”

“…Different appearances depending on the technique can be seen on postoperative imaging. 39 In case of FDL tendon transfer, the distal attachment is variable, depending on the integrity of the plantar slip of the PT tendon. If this latter is normal, the FDL is sutured directly to the distal PTT.…”

“…On MRI, discontinuity of the PTT at the expected navicular insertion along with fluid suggests failure at the tendon attachment. 39 Potential correlation between accessory navicular syndrome and flatfoot deformity has been suggested, 87 so surgical corrections of these two conditions are often performed together. 39…”

Injuries of the ankle ligaments complexes are very common, and ∼ 20 to 40% of patients can develop chronic ankle instability (CAI). Current concepts in CAI allow a better understanding of the ankle biomechanics needed to repair it. The surgical treatment of CAI has evolved in the last decade, and ankle arthroscopy has become an essential tool in the treatment of instability with promising results. We review the different surgical techniques to treat CAI, both those frequently used and the new approaches, as well as the normal postsurgical appearance of ankle ligaments repair and the most common complications.

Plain radiographs are used for initial evaluation of many conditions of the ankle. Many different radiographic views are described in positioning textbooks but evidence on which views to use, in which case, is scarce. The aim of this study was to map imaging procedures related to four indications for ankle projection radiography. A questionnaire was sent to all medical imaging departments in Iceland with questions about acquisition technique for ankle radiography views and which views were used for selected indications. Answer was received from 14 of the 28 departments. All departments gave very similar descriptions of the four most common views. In the case of trauma, all but one department used four views but for control of trauma or operation, four different combinations of views were found using from two to four images. For detrition and osteomyelitis, four views were more common in the larger departments but there was not a statistically significant difference. Eight different combinations of the number of views for the four indications were found. The study indicates that there is a need for standardization in image acquisition protocols. More studies are needed to support decisions about how many views are necessary for the most common ankle radiography indications.
