Schematic diagram of anterior ankle C-shaped incision. (a) Anterior ankle C-type incision: a transverse arc line was made from the medial and lateral malleolar prominence to the proximal 1 cm of the ankle joint. (b) Protection of the great saphenous vein, superficial peroneal nerve, tibialis anterior muscle, extensor hallux longus, extensor digitorum longus, anterior tibial artery, and deep peroneal nerve. (c) The lateral window can expose the lateral border of trochlea tali. (d) The middle window can completely expose the fornix of the talus to provide 23 mm of operating space at the distal tibia. (e) The medial window can completely expose the medial malleolar prominence.
