Résumé
Unstable injuries of the deltoid ligament complex can have a substantial negative effect on the prognosis and treatment of ankle injuries. Lesions of the deltoid ligament are often overlooked at the initial presentation, both as isolated ruptures and in combination with more complex injuries of the ankle. Neglected unstable injuries of medial ankle ligaments may result in chronic instability, especially following correct treatment of fractures and lateral ligament injuries. These are accompanied by reduced ankle mobility, persisting pain, reduced load bearing and osteoarthritis. Despite the possible subsequent damage, the need for surgical repair of the deltoid ligament in patients with ankle fractures is controversially discussed. Although in most cases of ligament injuries of the upper ankle joint conservative treatment leads to very good results, there is increased interest in acute surgical treatment particularly for unstable injuries in order to avoid secondary instability and the associated sequelae. When surgical treatment should be given priority over conservative treatment has not yet been sufficiently clarified. This article gives an overview of the diagnosis and treatment of injuries of the deltoid ligament complex in patients with ankle fractures based on the current literature. Instabile Verletzungen des Deltabandkomplexes beeinflussen maßgeblich die Prognose und die Therapie von Verletzungen des oberen Sprunggelenks. Läsionen des medialen Bandapparats werden, sowohl isoliert als auch in Kombination mit komplexeren Sprunggelenkverletzungen, häufig übersehen. Nichtadressierte, instabile Läsionen des medialen Bandapparats können, insbesondere nach regelgerechter Versorgung von Frakturen und lateralen Bandverletzungen, zu chronischen Instabilitäten führen. Diese gehen mit Bewegungseinschränkungen, persistierenden Schmerzen, geminderter Belastbarkeit und Arthrose einher. Trotz der möglichen Folgeschäden wird die Therapie instabiler Verletzungen des Deltabandkomplexes kontrovers diskutiert. Obwohl bei den meisten Bandverletzungen am oberen Sprunggelenk konservative Behandlungen sehr gute Ergebnisse erzielen, werden, gerade bei instabilen Verletzungen, zunehmend operative Therapieverfahren postuliert, um sekundäre Instabilitäten und die damit einhergehenden Folgeschäden zu vermeiden. Nicht ausreichend geklärt ist, ab wann eine operative Behandlung der konservativen Therapie vorzuziehen ist. Diese Arbeit gibt anhand der aktuellen Literatur einen Überblick über die Diagnose und Therapie von Verletzungen des Deltabandkomplexes bei Patienten mit Sprunggelenkfrakturen.
