To review the anatomy and historical literature of lateral ankle collateral ligament reconstruction.
To present the Levitsky ankle stabilization procedure as a surgical option.

Main Methods:

Literature review of anatomical and historical data.
Description of the Levitsky ankle stabilization surgical technique.

Main Results:

Detailed anatomical review of the lateral ankle collateral ligament complex.
