The tridimensional analysis of the lateral ligaments of the ankle demonstrates that the ATFLif, CFL and PTFL have a continuous footprint at the medial side of the fibula in all analysed specimens. These data can assist the surgeon in interpreting the ligament injuries, improving the imaging assessment and guiding the surgeon to repair and reconstruct the ligaments in an anatomical position.
