Pearls	Pitfalls
Draw the main ankle landmarks with the ankle and foot in a neutral position; identify the superficial peroneal nerve	Failure to correctly identify foot print of ligament insertion
Identify the insertion of the interosseous talocalcaneal ligament (ITCL)	Not preparing the graft correctly
Mini open approach in the talar neck is needed to avoid neurovascular injuries	Injury to the neurovascular bundle
Avoid subtalar joint inversion during calcaneal fixation
Improve varus stability
