The American Journal of Sports Medicine is proud to present the next installment in the American Journal of Sports Medicine Webinar series: “The State of the Art in Lateral Ankle Ligament Instability Treatment. An AJSM/AOFAS Webinar."
Lateral ankle sprains are among the most common sports injuries. While most do well with conservative treatment, many go on to chronic ankle instability. The options for surgical treatment include open or arthroscopic repair and allograft, autograft, or synthetic reconstruction. There are advantages and disadvantages to each of these options, making the choice among them difficult. Moreover, there is substantial variation in postoperative protocols and return to play decision making.
The goal of this live webinar, presented by AJSM in conjunction with the AOFAS, is to present the latest developments in the surgical treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability. Topics covered include indications for surgery, choosing among the numerous surgical procedures, surgical technique tips, a comparison of various postoperative protocols, and principles of return to play decision making.
Join our expert panel of renowned sports / foot and ankle surgeons in this one-hour webinar to improve your knowledge about this common condition affecting athletes at all levels.
