Abstract
Ankle sprains are common in both sport and leisure activities. Despite the high success rates of conservative management, approximately 10% to 30% patients develop chronic instability. Surgery yields high success rates, but clinical problems such as functional and mechanical instability, persistent talar tilt, range of motions limitations, and pain may persist despite surgery.
