As a supporting element the postero-medial capsule prevents anterior dislocation in ACL-deficient knees. Therefore extraarticular procedures in cruciate instabilities will not be successful. In contrast varus- and valgus instabilities resulted after transsection of a couple of ligaments. Valgus stability decreased after cutting the medial collateral, posterior oblique and both cruciate ligaments. The most important element in preventing straight varus instability was the lateral collateral followed by the posterior cruciate ligament, while the popliteus tendon had only little influence.

In a second experiment an additional orthotic device was applied and the stability was measured again under applied muscular strength. The results demonstrated that stable conditions at the lateral unstable ankle joint are only achievable when a muscular strength of 75 N (ant. drawer sign) or 150 N (talar tilt) is combined with the application of an orthotic device.
