Abstract
The objective of this article is to review the biomechanical stresses that occur during normal physiologic function of lower extremity soft tissue anatomic structures and to use this as a baseline for a critical analysis of the medical literature because it relates to surgical reconstruction following injury. The Achilles tendon, anterior talofibular ligament, plantar plate, and spring ligament are specifically evaluated.
