Recurrent instability following ankle sprains which fail to respond adequately to conservative treatment has been the focal point of discussion among physicians in recent years. A variety of surgical regimens have been implemented primarily over the past 40 years in an attempt to control this problem. The authors discuss these modalities and present their successful approach in treating lateral ankle instability.
