    (2023) Filippi, Jorge; Gutierrez, Paulina; Quezada, Jose; Massri-Pugin, Jafet; Bastias, Gonzalo F.; Melo, Rodrigo; Vidal, Catalina; Silvestre, Rony
    Background: In unstable ankle fractures, the role of the deltoid and syndesmosis ligaments has been widely studied. However, it is uncertain what the importance of the lateral ankle ligament complex (LALC) is in the vertical stability of the fibula. Given its anatomical position, it should prevent the proximal translation of the fibula. This study aims to evaluate the role of the LALC in stabilizing the fibula in the vertical plane.
