Fig 3 Intraoperative image from the anteromedial viewing portal of the right ankle, with the patient in the supine position, showing the prominence of the accessory anterolateral talar facet (asterisk) visible in the lateral recess. The talus (pound sign) and fibula (at sign) are shown for orientation purposes.

Fig 4 The mini C-arm was used intraoperatively, with the patient in the supine position, to obtain an anteroposterior view of the right ankle, which confirmed that the prominence was the accessory anterolateral talar facet (asterisk).

Fig 6 The 4.0-mm PoweRasp was used from the accessory portal to resect the prominent bone (caret) of the accessory anterolateral talar facet in the right ankle, with the patient in the supine position.

Fig 7 An intraoperative image from the anteromedial viewing portal shows that the bone was leveled to the cortical bone on the talus (pound sign), consistent with adequate removal of the right ankle accessory anterolateral talar facet.
