AbstractWe present a unique case of chronic deltoid ligament disruption in a 34-year-old high-level military operator with a 12-month history of acute-onset medial ankle pain. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an isolated chronic disruption of the superficial and deep deltoid ligament. The patient was managed operatively with a semitendinosus allograft. No complications were observed during the intra- or perioperative periods. At 12-month follow-up, the patient reported near-complete pain resolution and was able to return to unrestricted active duty. Use of allograft ligamentous reconstruction of the deltoid ligament in a highly active soldier was successful, allowing return to unrestricted active duty.© The Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2021.
