This issue of Foot and Ankle Clinics, guest edited by Dr. Roxa Ruiz and Gaston Slullitel, will discuss the Deltoid Spring Ligament Complex and Medial Ankle Instability. This issue is one of four selected each year by long-time series Consulting Editor, Dr. Mark Myerson. Topics in this issue will include:

Anatomy of the deltoid-spring ligament complex: This section will provide an overview of the anatomy and structure of the deltoid-spring ligament complex, including its role in maintaining medial ankle stability.

Biomechanics of medial ankle and peritalar instability: This section will explore the biomechanics of medial ankle and peritalar instability, including the factors that contribute to these conditions and the mechanisms by which they occur.

Imaging of peritalar instability: This section will discuss the imaging techniques used to diagnose and evaluate peritalar instability, including radiographs, MRI, and CT scans.

Clinical appearance of medial ankle instability: This section will describe the clinical manifestations of medial ankle instability, including pain, swelling, and instability.

Arthroscopic assessment and treatment of medial ankle instability: This section will discuss the arthroscopic techniques used to assess and treat medial ankle instability, including ligament repair, tendon reconstruction, and cartilage restoration.

Current concepts in treatment of acute medial ankle instability: This section will explore the current treatment strategies for acute medial ankle instability, including immobilization, bracing, and physical therapy.

State of the art in treatment of chronic medial ankle instability: This section will discuss the latest treatment approaches for chronic medial ankle instability, including surgical options such as ankle arthroscopy and ligament reconstruction.

Current trends in treatment of injuries to spring ligament: This section will explore the trends in treatment of injuries to the spring ligament, including the use of minimally invasive techniques and regenerative medicine.

Deltoid rupture in ankle fracture: This section will discuss the management of deltoid rupture in ankle fractures, including the surgical techniques used to repair the ligament and the rehabilitation protocols.

Current concepts in treatment of ligament incompetence in the acquired flatfoot: This section will discuss the treatment of ligament incompetence in the acquired flatfoot, including the use of orthotics and footwear modifications.

The failed deltoid ligament in the valgus misaligned ankle: This section will discuss the management of the failed deltoid ligament in the valgus misaligned ankle, including the surgical techniques used to address the condition and the rehabilitation protocols.

In conclusion, this issue of Foot and Ankle Clinics will provide a comprehensive overview of the Deltoid Spring Ligament Complex and Medial Ankle Instability, including its anatomy, biomechanics, imaging, clinical presentation, treatment options, and current trends in the field. It will be of great interest to foot and ankle surgeons, sports medicine practitioners, and physical therapists.
