We have reported the short term follow-up of reconstruction of the lateral ligaments in 7 patients (8 ankles) who were followed-up for 12 to 45 months (Age. 27.6 months) after surgery. Three of the patients were male and four were female, whose ages were 16 to 54 yrs. (Age. 29.4 years).Operative procedures included 3 cases of Kaplan, 4 cases of autograft, and 1 case of (artificial) graft.Radiographically, almost all cases had normal values of anterior talar displacement (ATD, 3.4±1.0mm) and talar tilt angle (TTA, 5.2±2.6 degrees).Objectively, we obtained 87.5% good results, and in subjectively, we obtained 87.5% above S2.There were several complications which included limitation of motion in 3, nerve entrapment in 2, hypertrophic scar in 1, and tendinitis in 1.Based on the findings in this study, we seemed to obtain a much better result when an anatomical and functional reconstruction with a correct procedure was performed.
