A patient with an anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) tear at the talar site (a) and a calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) tear at the calcaneal site (b), which were identified in magnetic resonance images (MRI). The end of the ruptured ATFL was identified under arthroscopy (c). The ruptured ends were isolated (d), and the suture anchor was inserted into the insertion site (e,f). The ligament was then braided and pulled underneath the peroneal tendon (blue arrow) and fixed with the anchor wire (g, h). The extensor retinaculum was then sutured to the fibular periosteum (i)
