Arthroscopic and Open Procedures Result in Similar Calcaneal Tunnels for Anatomical Reconstruction of Lateral Ankle Ligaments

Arthroscopic Anatomic Reconstruction of the Anterior Talofibular and Calcaneofibular Ligaments Through a 2-Portal Technique

“…The peroneal tubercle would be the most straightforward anatomic landmark to identify as it can be easily located by palpation. 16 , 17 The passage of the graft under the peroneal tendons with the aid of a mosquito forceps is similar to that previously described in a percutaneous technique. 18 On the other hand, to perform the calcaneal tunnel, unlike the techniques described by Guillo et al., 8 , 9 we recommend the creation of a blind hemitunnel to avoid the risk of injury to neurovascular structures in the medial side.…”

Percutaneous Calcaneal Osteotomy Combined With Arthroscopic Lateral Ankle Ligament Reconstruction for Chronic Ankle Instability With Hindfoot Varus

“… 2 , 4 Classic treatment involves lateral ankle ligament anatomic reconstruction (LALAR). 5 , 6 , 7 If hindfoot varus is not managed when medical treatment fails and surgery is necessary, treatment may be unsuccessful, resulting in a poorer functional outcome and a higher rate of recurrent instability. 4 , 8 , 9 …”
