Repeated ankle sprains can lead to chronic ankle instability, where the ankle frequently gives way during walking or sports activities. This condition often develops after untreated ligament injuries.
Chronic ankle instability is a condition where the ankle repeatedly gives way during walking or sports, usually caused by incompletely healed ligament injuries from previous sprains.
Mild instability can often be managed with physiotherapy, balance training, and ankle bracing. Surgery is recommended when conservative treatment fails.
Common procedures include arthroscopic ligament repair or ligament reconstruction using a tendon graft to restore ankle stability.
Balance training, calf strengthening exercises, ankle mobility drills, and wearing supportive footwear can all help strengthen the ankles and reduce instability.
