title: [Lateral ligament replacement of the ankle joint--cialit graft or tendon graft? A comparative clinical study from the Balgrist Orthopedic University Hospital, Zürich].
abstract: Of a total of 268 patients who were operated because of ankle instability, 125 who were treated with cialit skin graft and 101 who received a peroneal tendon graft were interrogated. 36 were clinically and radiologically examined. Apart from some very minor disturbances, neither during the period immediately after surgery nor later, were the subjective or objective results significantly different. This observation demands that no surgical technique should be employed that could interfere with the function of proprioceptive or constraining structures.
