Anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) tear is the most common ankle ligament injury. This can lead to recurrent ankle instability, which is detrimental to ankle function and the patient's quality of life. Currently, several techniques have shown successful outcomes for ATFL repair. In this technical note, we describe an open ATFL repair using a single knotless suture anchor at the distal fibula location. This approach is rapid, equipment-efficient, and reproducible, while promising excellent results and high patient satisfaction by restoring ATFL anatomy.
