Abstract
SummaryAnkle sprains are the most common injuries sustained during sports activities. Most ankle sprains recover fully with non-operative treatment but 20–30% develop chronic ankle instability. Predicting which patients who sustain an ankle sprain will develop instability is difficult. This paper summarises a consensus on identifying which patients may require surgery, the optimal surgical intervention along with treatment of concomitant pathology given the evidence available today. It also discusses the role of arthroscopic treatment and the anatomical basis for individual procedures.Proof of evidence4.
