Advantages | Risks and/or Limitations |
---|---|
We can more clearly assess the condition of intra-articular lesions. | Arthroscopic surgery experience is needed. |
Arthroscopic procedures are less invasive than open procedures. | This technique only allows ATFL augmentation |
Our procedure is simpler than previous procedures because only one anchor is used to fix both the remnant ligament and the artificial ligament on the fibula. | The long-term results are unclear. |
In young children who still have epiphyseal lines, the fibula side knotless anchor can destroy their epiphyseal line. |
ATFL, anterior talofibular ligament.
