摘要
A dynamic weight-bearing model has been developed in a cadaveric ankle model to assess the contact areas of the talus in varying degrees of bimalleolar ankle fractures. A surgically created transverse fibula osteotomy with up to 6 mm of displacement did not cause a significant change in the contact area. Sectioning of the deltoid ligament, regardless of fibular displacement, created a 15% to 20% decrease in the contact area (P < .001). This model represents a clinically relevant situation, as it examines motion of an unconstrained, axillary loaded ankle. Additional medial side disruption increases ankle instability by allowing anterior and lateral translation of the talus out of the mortise. Isolated lateral malleolar displacement does not appear to cause ankle instability.
