Abstract:
This article describes a surgical technique for reconstruction of the unstable ankle that uses a modification of the Elmslie procedure for anatomic augmentation of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL). Our technique is an anatomic reconstruction that uses a free graft of the gracilis tendon toreconstruct the CFL and A TFL.
