Native Anterior Talo-Fibular Ligament Tensile Characteristics Compared to Allograft, Suture Tape, and Copolymer Augmentation Elements: A Biomechanical Study. Sep 24

September 10, 2024

Abstract: Surgical augmentation methods have been introduced to the Modified Broström (MB) technique to support native anterior talo-fibular ligament (ATFL) healing and function. This study aimed to investigate the isolated biomechanical performance of common MB augmentation elements, including allograft, suture tape, and copolymer, compared to native ATFL.Six cadaveric feet were dissected, isolating the ATFL from…
