Ankle Instability in the Athlete: Controversial Issues (2/5)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a symposium on ankle instability and its treatment. The speaker emphasizes the importance of assessing the whole ankle and looking at associated injuries or problems when addressing ankle instability. They discuss various conditions that can contribute to chronic ankle instability, such as chondral injuries, ankle impingement, perineal tendon tears, syndesmotic sprains, and deltoid injuries. The speaker also mentions that repairing lateral ligaments for ankle instability is successful, but there is a significant failure rate and suggests considering surgical treatment if rehab programs fail. They touch on the use of imaging for diagnosis and discuss different surgical techniques for stabilizing the ankle, including anatomic repairs and reconstructions. The speaker concludes by highlighting the need for a detailed evaluation and clinical examination in ankle instability treatment.
