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

Table 2

The distances between the fibular footprint of the lateral ankle ligaments and the selected bony landmarks by sex.

Measured distance (mm)	Males ()	Females ()	value
cATFL~IT			0.003
cCFL~IT			0.810
intATFL-CFL~IT			0.093
AT~IT			<0.001

Data are . 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; SD: standard deviation.
