title: Medial impingement syndrome of the anterior tibiotalar fascicle of the deltoid ligament on the talus.
abstract: Eleven patients with medial impingement syndrome of the anterior tibio-talar fascicle (ATTF) of the deltoid ligament on the talus were identified. Six sustained inversion injuries, one talus and four ankle fractures. The mean preoperative Ankle-Hindfoot Scale (AHS) was 56 and the postoperative was 87. Surgical debridement of the ATTF was performed. A thickened ATTF and localized synovitis were seen. Talar osteophytes were removed in 8 patients. Mean follow up 4 years. Nine patients had good to excellent results and all patients returned to work.
