Abstract
The results of this review show the excellent efficacy of open and arthroscopic surgical procedures in the treatment of the chronic ankle instability. The higher complication rate of arthroscopic procedures respect to the open ones represents the major issue: however, this does not seem to affect the patient's satisfaction. Because of statistical heterogeneity observed no definitive conclusions can be statistically drawn. Finally, to definitively validate the effectiveness of arthroscopic procedures prospective and comparative studies are needed.
