This paper aimed to identify the characteristics of isolated anterior horn tear of the lateral meniscus in footballers who underwent arthroscopic surgery. We identified 8 patients with stable knee and no ligament injury, who had only isolated anterior horn tear of the lateral meniscus between 2007 and 2009. All 8 patients were footballers, comprising 7 men and 1 woman with mean age of 18.6 year...

We aimed to describe the location of fibular footprint each anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular (CFL), as well their common origin in relation bony landmarks fibula order determine tunnel. In 105 ankle specimens, center footprints ATFL CFL (cATFL cCFL, respectively) intersection point (intATFL-CFL) were investigated, distances from selected (the articular tip (AT) inferior ...
