The aim of this review is to critically review the developments in deltoid ligament repair (DLR) in ankle fractures over the course of 44 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An electronic search was conducted on the PubMed and Embase database including comparative studies evaluating the effect of performing DLR in adults suffering from a closed acute ankle fracture with suspected rupture of the DL.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 27 studies were retrieved, of which only one was a randomized study. A total of 1327 patients were reviewed (663 undergoing DLR and 664 receiving non-DLR treatment for an acute ankle fracture). Although earlier studies concluded that DLR holds little necessity in ankle fracture treatment if the anatomy of the ankle is restored, more recent studies support DLR due to more favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All studies agree that restoration of the ankle anatomy to its pre-fracture state is necessary to achieve the best clinical outcome. However, there is still controversy in whether to standardize DLR in ankle fracture treatment. The literature shows a clear shift toward more frequent restoration of the DL, and in light of improved surgical techniques and implants, there is a need for more rigorous studies to provide a clear indication for DLR in acute ankle fracture treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">III<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/19386400241307817","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,7]],"date-time":"2025-01-07T07:59:27Z","timestamp":1736236767000},"page":"416-425","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Repairing the Deltoid Ligament in Ankle Fractures: Is it time for a Paradigm Shift?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-2396-4523","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joy","family":"Van den Berg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Trauma Unit, Department of Surgery, Amsterdam UMC (Location AMC), University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1355-1322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diederick","family":"Penning","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Trauma Unit, Department of Surgery, Amsterdam UMC (Location AMC), University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sebastian","family":"Baumbach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, Musculoskeletal University Center Munich, University Hospital, LMU Munich, Munich, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tim","family":"Schepers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Trauma Unit, Department of Surgery, Amsterdam UMC (Location AMC), University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.M.00870"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/107110079601700604"},{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","first-page":"544","article-title":"Ligamentous ankle fractures; diagnosis and treatment","volume":"97","author":"Lauge-Hansen NI.","year":"1949","unstructured":"Lauge-Hansen NI.
