Fig. 4

Strain patterns of normal and reconstructed anterior talofibular ligaments (ATFLs) during three-dimensional motion. a The normal ATFL exhibited the maximal strain value (strain value, 100) during supination. b The reconstructed ATFL also exhibited the maximal strain value (100) during supination. Although the normal ATFL does not exhibit strain during pronation, the reconstructed ATFL shows strain values of 16–36 during pronation. Red line, case 1; blue line, case 2; green line, case 3
