Technique in right ankle. (A) The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) remnant is sutured by the first set of suture anchor threads using the lasso-loop technique. The graft is prepared for introduction through the subtalar portal. (B) The ATFL remnant is repaired and the graft is fixed with a 15-mm-long bioabsorbable interference screw simultaneously after screw fixation in the talar tunnel. The red lines indicate the first set of soft suture anchor threads; blue lines, the second set of soft suture anchor threads; and green lines, a loop thread penetrating the talar tunnel. (CFL, calcaneofibular ligament; FOT, fibular obscure tubercle.).
