Description
Although still surrounded by controversy, acute deltoid ligament injuries oftentimes result in a severe and disabling ankle instability that often requires surgery. Deltoid ligament ruptures, whether associated with ankle fractures, syndesmosis injuries, or multiple-ligament lesions, are treated surgically with ligament reinsertion.
Chronic medial instability as a consequence of inadequate deltoid ligament healing after an injury or secondary to a progressive collapsing foot deformity typically demand ligament reconstruction combined with bony realignment procedures.
