Anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) reconstruction. a Anatomic Y-configuration tendon graft. The graft is prepared in an anatomic “Y” configuration with graft loops at the three ends (F fibular limb, T talar limb, C calcaneal limb) of the anatomic Y-grafts of the ATFL (*) and CFL (†). b Footprints (FF fibular footprint, TF talar footprint, CF calcaneal footprint) and position of each bone tunnel (gray circle). c Reconstructed ATFL (*) and CFL (†). d Force probes (arrow) inserted into the normal ATFL and CFL. LM lateral malleolus, T talus, C calcaneus
