Fig 2.

Arthroscopic view of the talar ligament footprint in the right ankle. Viewing from the anteromedial portal, the tip of the needle indicates the talar footprint of the ATFL. We make the accessory anterolateral portal after checking accessibility of the talar footprint from this position. A guide wire is inserted at the center of the anchor hole via the accessory anterolateral portal, and a cannulated drill is inserted through the guide wire for the knotless anchor. (ATFL, anterior talofibular ligament; T, talus.)
