Abstract
An alternative to traditional lateral ankle stabilization procedures is presented using freeze-dried fascia lata graft tissue. This procedure is minimally invasive and obviates the complications typically associated with tenodesis procedures. Furthermore, the fascia lata graft is more anatomically similar to ligament tissue, and studies suggest that the architecture is maintained through a neovascularization process.
