Abstract
Deltoid ligament repair can be challenging, and implementation of an arthroscopic
method can be useful in terms of minimizing morbidity associated with open dissection,
as long as the repair is effective and durable. In this brief report, we describe
a method of arthroscopic deltoid ligament repair that we have found to be useful.
