    Summary

    Lateral ankle ligament injuries are common. Proper management, including bracing and rehabilitation, helps prevent chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI), which affects about 25% of ankle sprain patients.

    Ankle Joint

    The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Lateral ankle ligament injuries are prevalent in athletes and the general population.
    • Chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) develops in approximately 25% of ankle sprain cases.
    • CLAI presents as mechanical or functional instability, diagnosed clinically with imaging support.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the diagnosis and management of chronic lateral ankle instability.
    • To highlight the importance of rehabilitation in preventing and treating CLAI.
    • To discuss current surgical standards for CLAI.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of diagnostic and treatment modalities for CLAI.
    • Analysis of non-operative and operative management strategies.

    Published on: January 23, 2018

  • Emphasis on the role of rehabilitation in recovery.

    • Main Results:

    • Non-operative treatment is effective for most patients.
    • The Broström-Gould technique is the current gold standard for surgical repair.
    • Early rehabilitation, including balance and proprioception training, is vital for restoring stability.

    Conclusions:

    • Adequate management and rehabilitation are key to preventing CLAI.
    • Surgical intervention is reserved for cases unresponsive to conservative treatment.
    • Restoring postural stability through early, targeted rehabilitation is crucial for both acute and chronic ankle instability.
