Abstract

Lateral ankle instability can present as either acute or chronic. Proper identification of the etiology is necessary to determine the proper treatment plan. The Brostrom-Gould procedure, when properly used, can provide adequate correction of the unstable ankle. A review of the procedure, its indications, and the results of 44 patients who underwent the procedure will be discussed.
