title: [Fresh ligament injuries of the ankle joint].
abstract: Fresh lesions of the ligaments about the tibio-talar joint are quite frequent, especially laterally. An isolated rupture of the anterior fibulo-talar ligament, with an anterior subluxation of the talus, can only be demonstrated by stress films in a lateral direction and can rarely be seen in the ap-views. The suture of the fresh rupture is always indicated, thus preventing chronic instability and a disposition to arthritic degeneration of the joint. The point of view is uniformly emphasized by 12 Swiss orthopedic and general surgeons as well.
