Arthroscopic repair of the anterior talofibular ligament with retrograde drilling and allograft bone grafting for chronic lateral ankle instability with hepple stage V osteochondral lesions of the talus
Arthroscopic ATFL repair combined with retrograde drilling and allograft bone grafting yields favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients with CLAI and Hepple Stage V OLT. This integrated approach addresses both ligament instability and subchondral cyst pathology, potentially delaying the progression of osteoarthritis.
