middle ankle stability and yet very few data are available. Many other
structures are also involved in medial ankle stability, however, not all
of them are involved in ankle injury. The injury pattern of the deltoid
ligament is complicated, with the superficial ligament being most
commonly affected site. Anatomically divided in two parts; the
superficial and deep layer; the deltoid ligament complex has important
functions in relations to the ankle joint. Ankle fractures account largely
for injury of the ligament. Studying and understanding the anatomy
and biomechanics of the deltoid ligament and its components is very
helpful in regards of repair or the reconstruction in case of ligament
injury or instability. Arthroscopy has the potential to assess for deltoid
ligament damage, mainly the medial aspect. There is a currently no
fixed guidelines for the management of acute deltoid ligament during
fixation of ankle fracture. The traditional method of treating ankle
fractures involving the fixation of the fibula and the use of syndesmotic
screws is still being used for injury to the deltoid ligament. Controversy
still exists concerning whether to opt for an operative approach of deltoid ligament injury associated with ankle fracture. With the
emergence of better understandings of the anatomy of the deltoid
ligament, further standardization of treatment and diagnosis protocol
are required for deltoid associated injuries.
