Ankle sprains continue to be among the most common musculoskeletal injuries, most of which never require surgical treatment. Surgical treatment has traditionally been successful for those patients whose symptoms do not improve with nonoperative care. However, recurrent instability, although rare, can occur early or late after a stabilization procedure, as the result of an acute traumatic event or chronic repetitive minor injury. A complete workup of patients with recurrent ankle instability should be completed before revision surgery and should include evaluation for generalized joint hypermobility as well as anatomic variations, such as hindfoot varus, first ray plantarflexion, and midfoot cavus.
