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

Figure 2

Lateral view of a right ankle depicting distances from the inferior tip of the lateral malleolus to the anatomic footprint sites of the lateral ankle ligaments. The bundle type of the anterior talofibular ligament was classified into a single type with an isolated band (a) and a double type with a divided superior band and inferior band (b). AT: the articular tip of the lateral malleolus; ATFL: anterior talofibular ligament; CFL: calcaneofibular ligament; IB ATFL: inferior band ATFL; IT: the inferior tip of the lateral malleolus; SB ATFL: superior band ATFL.
