Abstract:
Although chronic lateral instability of the ankle is a common disorder, there are not many reports and researches on it in China. This is because most patients with the condition do not seek a thorough cure of it and consequently surgeons pay little attention to it. In this article, we discuss some of the problems about its diagnosis, describe and compare several surgical procedures for reconstruction of the lateral ligament. We hope this paper can help surgeons know more about how to make an accurate diagnosis of the chronic lateral instability of the ankle and how to deal with it.
