Subtalar instability, often overlooked, contributes to chronic ankle instability. Diagnosis requires stress radiographs, and treatment involves surgical reconstruction for improved outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Chronic functional lateral ankle instability is well-understood, involving mechanical factors, proprioception deficits, and peroneal weakness.
  • Subtalar instability is increasingly recognized as a contributor to chronic functional foot instability.
  • The precise etiology and incidence of subtalar ligament injuries are not fully established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of subtalar instability in chronic functional ankle instability.
  • To discuss diagnostic challenges and treatment options for subtalar instability.
  • To highlight the need for further research on subtalar instability management and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on subtalar instability and chronic ankle instability.

  • Analysis of diagnostic criteria, including clinical examination and stress radiography.
  • Examination of surgical treatment modalities, including non-anatomical and anatomical reconstructions.

    • Main Results:

    • Subtalar instability can mimic chronic lateral ankle instability, presenting with 'giving way' symptoms and recurrent sprains.
    • Clinical assessment alone may be insufficient; standardized stress radiographs are crucial for diagnosis (talar tilt, talo-calcaneal displacement).
    • Treatment options include tendon transfer/tenodesis (e.g., Chrisman-Snook) or anatomical ligament reconstruction.

    Conclusions:

    • Subtalar instability is a significant factor in chronic functional ankle instability that requires specific diagnostic approaches.
    • Standardized stress radiography is essential for accurate diagnosis of subtalar instability.
    • Further comparative studies on surgical techniques and long-term outcomes are needed to define optimal treatment strategies.
