The result of operative treatment of an adolescent patient with chronic lateral ankle instability (clinical example)

Abstract

Chronic lateral ankle instability is an extremely common disease in the active working population. Unfortunately, the study of this pathology in children and adolescents receives very little attention in the modern literature, although they also suffer from manifestations of ankle instability. We present a clinical example of surgical treatment of a 15-year-old patient suffering from chronic lateral ankle instability. The result of treatment after one year of observation was regarded as excellent. The symptoms of the disease were stopped, the patient has no restrictions in household activities and returned to the level of motor activity that was before the injury.
