Abstract
Arthroscopic ultrasound-assisted all-inside repair of lateral ankle ligament is a minimally invasive procedure that addresses chronic lateral ankle instability. This technique uses ultrasound guidance to facilitate accurate anchor placement and precise suture positioning, potentially reducing the risk of iatrogenic injury and improving anatomical repair. The combination of arthroscopy and ultrasound is expected to be more accurate and safer. In addition, it enables simultaneous treatment of intra-articular pathologies. This study describes the surgical method and discusses its potential advantages in clinical practice.
