Abstract
Chronic lateral ankle instability is the sensation of the ankle giving way along with recurrent sprains, chronic pain and swelling of the ankle for 1 year. The lateral ankle complex comprises the anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament, and posterior talofibular ligament. The anterior talofibular ligament is the most commonly injured ligament of the lateral ankle. Evaluation comprises a history and physical with concomitant imaging to confirm the diagnosis and can be used to evaluate for concurrent pathology. The most popular treatment is a direct anatomic repair; however, additional options can be used in specific patient populations.
