Medial And Lateral Gutter Ankle

A thorough understanding of the arthroscopic anatomy is important to recognise pathological conditions.

Medial and lateral gutter ankle.

Although some ankle ligaments have been described as intra articular structures no studies have assessed the full visibility of these structures. Medial and lateral gutter ankle impingement may result after total ankle replacement tar. Impingement after tar can be a source of pain and decreased patient satisfaction which in turn results in poor outcomes 1 impingement is of an unknown complex etiology and is likely multifactorial. It is used in the prediction of deltoid ligament injury 1 and in conjunction with the tibiofibular clear space tfcs the tibiofibular overlap tfo and the superior clear space in the diagnosis syndesmotic injury 2 3.

8 medial gutter impingement was more common than lateral in our study but both were. Impingement after tar can be a source of pain and decreased patient satisfaction which in turn results in. The purpose of this study was to assess arthroscopic visibility of medial and lateral ankle collateral ligaments. The broadest distance between the lateral border of the medial malleolus and the medial side of the talar dome is measured usually parallel to the superior.
