Name of journal: Sports medicine and arthroscopy reviewAbstract: Chronic lateral ankle instability often causes adults to require a surgical intervention with subsequent physical therapy to assist with returning to their prior level of function. This systematic review is hoping to provide an up to date understanding of surgical procedures performed to correct chronic lateral ankle instability and establish a protocol for others to follow when treating adults who are status-post chronic lateral ankle instability surgery. This review looked at level I to III research studies that included surgical interventions to correct chronic lateral ankle instability as well as a rehabilitation protocol. This study found implementation of a rehabilitation protocol after surgical intervention could improve balance and subjective functional outcomes. It also determined that early weight-bearing may allow for early strengthening as range of motion returns faster. Further research is required utilizing larger randomized studies to better evaluate the outcomes of specific rehabilitation protocols in this patient population.
