Two types of suture anchor insertion pathways (anterolateral portal vs lateral accessory portal) are used in arthroscopic anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) repair. However, it is not clear which one is the better choice. This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of these 2 suture anchor insertion pathways when performing arthroscopic ATFL lasso-loop repair for the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI).
