Abstract
Complex ankle instability can be linked to a variety of causes. It is essential to evaluate these patients adequately, including a clinical history, evaluation of prior records and diagnostic studies (if available), and current radiographic studies. With appropriate evaluation and assessment, the underlying cause can [figure: see text] be determined and a reasonable surgical plan developed. With appropriate planning, adequate improvement usually can be expected.
