The unstable ankle How likely is this to work? Depending upon the technique used somewhere between 80-95% chance of significant functional and symptomatic improvement. What happens if I leave my ankle?(can I just carry on using a brace for sport?) There is evidence for a risk of developing arthritic change within the ankle if it is left in the longer term. The evidence however is not strong enough to advise routine ligament reconstruction soley for this reason. |
