Arthroscopic Treatment of Anterior Ankle Impingement

The anterior tibiofibular ligament has a constant distal fascicle that contacts the anterolateral part of the talus

“…The term “anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament” should be eliminated, because the anterior ligament of the superior tibiofibular joint is the “anterior ligament of the fibular head” not the “anterior superior tibiofibular ligament”. On the other hand, the ATiFL‐DF has been also erroneously called the distal anterior tibiofibular ligament [13], the accessory anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament [3–5], or the distal anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament [14]. As suggested by the International Federation of Anatomists [16], eponyms should be eliminated to prevent confusion and the term “Basset's ligament” should therefore be avoided as a name for the ATiFL‐DF.…”

“…On the other hand, the ATiFL-DF has been also erroneously called the distal anterior tibiofibular ligament [13], the accessory anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament [3][4][5], or the distal anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament 7) Line showing the anterior cartilage limit of the talar dome (ATiFL-DF still in contact with talus). ( 8) The ATiFL-DF is not in contact with the talus, as the talus is inside the mortise [14]. As suggested by the International Federation of Anatomists [16], eponyms should be eliminated to prevent confusion and the term "Basset's ligament" should therefore be avoided as a name for the ATiFL-DF.…”

“…In addition, different terminologies have been used to refer to what appears to be the same structure, i.e. "anteroinferior tibiofibular ligament" [1,2,[7][8][9][10]12], "anterior tibiofibular ligament" [8,11], "distal anterior tibiofibular ligament" [13], "accessory anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament" [3][4][5], "distal anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament" [14] and "Basset's ligament" have all been mentioned in the literature [5].…”

Combined arthroscopic management of concurrent posterior and anterior ankle pathologies

“…Standard ankle arthroscopy portals have likewise been well described in literature [29, 33]. The efficacy of the arthroscopic procedures to treat ankle pathologies individually has also been well documented in the literature [10, 16, 28, 29, 33, 37]. The current study was found to have similar success with regard to the significant improvement of the AOFAS Ankle and Hind foot Scale scores from 70.2 ± 15.2 to 93.0 ± 5.4 points ( p < 0.001).…”

Fascículo Distal del Ligamento Tibiofibular Anterior: Presencia, Biometría y Relación con la Tróclea Talar

“…Diversos autores lo han denominado como: Ligamento tibiofibular anterior inferior accesorio (Nikolopoulos, 1982), fascículo distal del ligamento tibiofibular anterior inferior (van den Bekerom & Raven, 2007), ligamento de Bassett (Subhas et al, 2008) y ligamento tibiofibular anterior inferior distal (Jacobson et al, 2011).…”
