Abstract
Ankles (34) with prolonged instability of the lateral ligaments were operated on by the Evans tenodesis procedure. The follow-up period was 24-35 mo. Most patients (33) showed subjective improvement; only 1 had marked postoperative complaints. The Evans operation gave good stability of the ankle. A simple and safe procedure, this operation is recommended for standard correction of old posttraumatic lateral instability of the ankle.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
