Abstract
Diagnosis and treatment of medial ankle instability (MAI) are still controversial and poorly discussed in literature. The purpose of this review is to highlight different clinical presentations of MAI and develop a guide for its management. The deltoid ligament complex is injured more commonly than expected, because deltoid ligament injuries may either be isolated or occur in combination with other lesions, such as lateral ankle ligament injury, posterior tibial tendon insufficiency, osteochondral lesion, and others. The presence of a pes planovalgus deformity in a patient without posterior tibial tendon insufficiency may indicate MAI.
