Biomechanical Analysis of Ankle Stability Following Deltoid Ligament Repair and Reconstruction

Purpose: To analyze and compare the biomechanical properties of different suturing techniques used in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tendon graft preparation. 

Summary:

  • This cadaveric biomechanical study compared ankle stability following deltoid ligament repair or reconstruction of the deltoid ligament. 
  • No significant differences in stability were observed between the repaired and reconstructed groups. 


JRF Takeaways: When primary repair of the deltoid ligament is not feasible, reconstruction offers a biomechanically sound solution. Allograft tendons provide a safe and effective alternative for these cases. JRF Ortho offers both pre-sutured and non-sutured tendon options to support surgeon preference and streamline surgical technique.
