Abstract
30 ankles in 27 patients operated on for chronic lateral instability w ith tensioning of the lateral ligaments and capsular tissue were exami ned using RSA preoperatively, at 20 and 60 months. 28 ankles were cons idered excellent or improved by the patients. Mechanical stability (ta lar adduction and translation) was increased without compromising the passive range of motions.
