Fresh frozen allogeneic tendon was used to reconstruct the lateral ligaments in 17 ankles. Two or more years later, 13 returned for follow-up examination. The mean age at operation was 23 years (range 15 to 39); the interval between injury and operation varied from six months to 20 years. There were no infections and no immunological rejections, and according to Sefton's criteria, nine patients were excellent and four good. No patient complained of instability of the ankle and stress radiography confirmed this improvement. Allograft reconstruction of the lateral ligaments of the ankle is a new method of treatment which restores stability without sacrificing normal tendons.
