[Results of surgery of lesions of the ankle joint (author's transl)].
Ruptures of the ligaments are getting more and more frequent as a result of increased general sports activities and the increasingly high demands made on sportsmen in competitive events. From June 1975 to June 1980, surgery was performed in 76 patients of our hospital. 54 patients were followed up, corresponding to 71% of the total number. 50 patients considered the results of surgery to be very good to good. Four patients only were dissatisfied. This subjective result was confirmed by objective examination. Basing on these data, the conclusion is that surgical treatment of ruptures of the outer ligaments of the ankle joint is the method of choice.
