Investigation into the effect of deltoid ligament injury on rotational ankle instability using a three-dimensional ankle finite element model

BackgroundInjury to the lateral collateral ligament of the ankle may cause ankle instability and, when combined with deltoid ligament (DL) injury, may lead to a more complex situation known as rotational ankle instability (RAI). It is unclear how DL rupture interferes with the mechanical function of...
