Classically, two portals have been described for anterior ankle arthroscopy-anteromedial portal, which is medial to the tibialis anterior (TA) tendon as well as the anterolateral portal, which is lateral to the peroneus tertius and/or extensor digitorum longus (EDL) tendon. 7 For posterior ankle arthroscopy, the two-portal approach, as described by van Dijk et al., has been routinely utilized.The posterolateral portal is made at the level of the ankle malleolus, just lateral to the Achilles tendon, while the posteromedial portal is made medial to the Achilles tendon.
