The Effect of Achilles Tendon Loading on Ankle Joint Contact Area and Peak Pressure
Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: Increased tibiotalar peak pressure (PP) and decreased contact area (CA) following ankle fracture are associated with the development of post-traumatic osteoarthtritis. Lateral talar translation of just 1 mm has been shown to decrease CA by 42%. The impact of tal...
