Anatomical analysis of the lateral ligament complex in the neutral position and during plantar flexion
In conclusion, attention should be given to the ATFL widths of different ATFL types during surgical treatment because of the significant differences among the three ATFL types. The relative independence of ATiFL and the cooperative relationship between ATFL and CFL are instructive for different ATFL surgical procedures. The ATFL, CFL, and ATiFL data can be used for anatomical reconstruction and secondary proofreading for ATFL injury or chronic ankle instability.
