Spring Ligament Injuries and Instability: Repair/Reconstruction Indications and Techniques

Gordon MacKay, Bill Ribbans

Research output: Contribution to Book/ReportChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Injuries to the spring ligament can produce pain, instability and ultimately deformity. They can occur as isolated injuries but more commonly as part of a pathological complex leading to adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD). This chapter examines the anatomy, biomechanics, clinical features and imaging of this static medial foot restraint. There is no consensus on the optimal surgical stabilisation procedure, but this chapter reviews the evolution of our knowledge and the most common restorative procedures undertaken.
