The Location of the Fibular Tunnel for Anatomically Accurate Reconstruction of the Lateral Ankle Ligament: A Cadaveric Study

Figure 1

Lateral view of a right ankle in neutral plantar flexion and dorsiflexion, demonstrating the anatomic footprint sites of the lateral ankle ligaments and bony landmarks. AT: the articular tip of the lateral malleolus; ATFL: anterior talofibular ligament; cATFL: the center of the fibular footprint of the ATFL; cCFL: the center of the fibular footprint of the CFL; CFL: calcaneofibular ligament; intATFL-CFL: the intersection point of the fibular origin of the ATFL and CFL; IT: the inferior tip of the lateral malleolus.
