Open anatomic reconstruction of the lateral ligament (AntiRoLL) of the ankle with a gracilis Y graft and the inside-out technique are commonly used and have evolved to minimally invasive surgery, including arthroscopic AntiRoLL (A-AntiRoLL) and percutaneous AntiRoLL procedures. A-AntiRoLL allows assessment and treatment of intra-articular pathologies of the ankle concurrently with stabilization. However, the A-AntiRoLL technique is technically demanding, especially in the process of calcaneofibular ligament reconstruction under subtalar arthroscopy. In contrast, the percutaneous AntiRoLL procedure is a simple concept that does not require the skill of an experienced arthroscopist but requires an extra skin incision to assess and treat intra-articular pathologies of the ankle. This study describes the application of a minimally invasive anatomic reconstruction technique—hybrid AntiRoLL—for chronic instability of the ankle that does not require advanced arthroscopic technique to assess and treat intra-articular pathology simultaneously.
