Ankle instability

Ankle instability

); Most people who sustain an ankle sprain will recover, partic - - ularly if they receive prompt physiotherapy . However, some individuals develop significant instability . On examination an unstable ankle due to ligament disruption will show a marked ‘anterior drawer’ sign. lem, If physiotherapy is unsuccessful at resolving the prob a reconstruction may be needed with ligament augmentation. Anatomical techniques such as the Broström procedure are favoured and may be supplemented with synthetic augments ly mobilisation. Peroneal tendon harvesting for recon - for ear struction is now obsolete with the new reconstruction tech - niques and implants. Other aetiologies of instability include osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions, syndesmosis instability and peroneal tendon pathology . Ankle instability
