doi: 10.1186/s12891-024-08036-2
Figure Lengend Snippet: A: A curved incision was made at the medial side of the ankle joint to reveal the fracture and injured deltoid ligament. Yellow arrows: Deltoid ligament. Blue arrow: Anterior colliculus. B: The medial suture anchor was inserted into the medial malleolus. Yellow arrow: The medial suture anchor. C: The sutures were retightened with the lateral row anchor. Yellow arrow: One suture was knotted to secure the bone block. Blue arrow: The other suture was used to knit and suture the deltoid ligament. Black arrow: Lateral anchor inserted at the proximal edge of the fracture line approximately 1–1.5 cm from the tibia
Article Snippet: With the fracture subsequently repositioned in the inversion position, one lateral row knotless anchor (Depuy Mitek, Johnson & Johnson) was inserted at the proximal edge of the fracture line approximately 1–1.5 cm from the tibia, and the dislocated bone fragments were fixed via the suture bridge technique (Figs. and ).
