OBJECTIVE: To investigate the reparative and reconstructive method of post-traumatic lateral instability of the ankle. METHODS: From January 1992 to June 2000, 7 cases of male patients with ankle injury (aged 25-43 years) underwent Wetson-Jones modification. A bone tunnel was drilled through 2.5 cm upside the lateral malleolus tip and talus, and short peroneal tendon was cut to pass the tunnel to fix twining. RESULTS: All patients were followed up 2-10 years, 5 cases mineworkers changed to work on the ground, 2 patients returned to the original work, no traumatic arthritis occurred. According to Baird ankle joint scoring standard, the ankle function was excellent in all cases. CONCLUSION: Reformed Wetson-Jones modification can repair and reconstruct perfectly the traumatic instability of the ankle.
