Open Ankle Reconstruction of Lateral Ligaments (O-Anti-RoLL)

Abstract

Ankle instability is a disabling condition that severely affects people’s quality of life. Nonoperative options have been suggested however a surgical procedure is often required to improve symptomatology and function of the ankle joint. In the current paper we describe a surgical technique of an open ankle reconstruction of the lateral ligaments (O-Anti-RoLL), which is a simple and safe surgical technique that utilizes an anatomic Y-graft.
