Peroneus Longus Graft :Effect in Foot and Ankle Function

NCT05991557 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: peroneus longus graft
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 50
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to report the ankle and foot functions via American orthopedic foot and ankle society score (AOFAS), peronei muscle testing ,handheld dynamometer and radiological outcomes after harvesting autogenous peroneus longus tendons for ligaments reconstruction.

Conditions

Ligament Injury

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• peronei muscle strength testing using handheld dynamometer

  power of plantar flexion and eversion of foot and ankle

  preoperative, three months postoperative and six months postoperative

Study Arms (1)

treatment arm

EXPERIMENTAL

peroneus longus autograft

Procedure: peroneus longus autograft

Interventions

peroneus longus autograft PROCEDURE

Peroneus longus tendon graft will be harvested with a longitudinal skin incision at 2 to 3 cm (2 finger-breadths) above and 1 cm (1 finger-breadth) behind the lateral malleolus, followed by superficial fascia incision in line with skin incision followed by incision of the tendon sheath proximal to the retinaculum. The peroneus longus and peroneus brevis tendons will be then identified. The tendon division location marked at 2 to 3 cm above the level of the lateral malleolus.The peroneus longus tendon will be exposed on its posterolateral surface through the incision after carefully incising the fascia

treatment arm

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 50 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• clinical and radiological diaginsis of joint ligament injury and needs to ligament reconstruction .
• people with asymptomatic ankle and foot pre and post injury

You may not qualify if:

• Associated ankle and/or foot fractures.
• Associated hip or pelvic fractures
• Abnormal ankle function pre-injury.
• Contralateral limb fractures
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI) that limits their ability to participate in their post-operative care;
• Presence of neurological condition that result in spasticity or any abnormal lower limb muscles tone.
• Any condition that would preclude the ability to comply with post-operative guidelines.
