Tenodeses destroy the kinematic coupling of the ankle joint complex. A three-dimensional in vitro analysis of joint movement.
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British Volume 1998 January
To study the effect of ligament injuries and surgical repair we investigated the three-dimensional kinematics of the ankle joint complex and the talocrural and the subtalar joints in seven fresh-frozen lower legs before and after sectioning and reconstruction of the ligaments. A foot movement simulator produced controlled torque in one plane of movement while allowing unconstrained movement in the remainder. After testing the intact joint the measurements were repeated after simulation of ligament injuries by cutting the anterior talofibular and calcaneofibular ligaments. The tests were repeated after the Evans, Watson-Jones and Chrisman-Snook tenodeses. The range of movement (ROM) was measured using two goniometer systems which determined the relative movement between the tibia and talus (talocrural ROM) and between the talus and calcaneus (subtalar ROM). Ligament lesions led to increased inversion and internal rotation, predominantly in the talocrural joint. The reconstruction procedures reduced the movement in the ankle joint complex by reducing subtalar movement to a non-physiological level but did not correct the instability of the talocrural joint.
