title: [Experiences and results of replacement of the fibulo-talar ligaments in relatively old ankle-joint traumas (author's transl)].
abstract: This is a report about the experiences and results of replacement of the fibulo-talar-ligaments by using the peronaeus brevis tendon. The typical anatomic and biomechanic findings are shown as well as the typical traumatisms. The importance of a good primary diagnosis and a good primary treatment is shown. In case of persisting of older instabilities we have the possibility of operative reconstruction. This is a report about 18 patients operated by the technique of Watson-Jones by using the peronaeus brevis tendon. Our results can demonstrate the big values of this technique for operative treatment of chronical fibulo-talar instabilities.
