Summary: In the past decade, numerous arthroscopic techniques have been developed for ankle ligament repair or reconstruction in the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability. Arthroscopy allows assessment and treatment of intra-articular pathologies and is associated with faster functional recovery.

Summary: For patients with chronic ankle instability, all-inside arthroscopic ATFL repair can improve clinical and radiologic outcomes. However, additional IER augmentation after ATFL repair does not guarantee better clinical outcomes.

Summary: This study specifies the indications and contraindications of the modified PIERA technique for chronic ankle instability cases, and reports the surgical outcomes and complications. The results show that the PIERA technique can improve the functional outcomes of patients with chronic ankle instability with few complications.

Summary: The study aimed to develop an assessment method for subtalar joint instability in patients with chronic ankle instability (CAI) using ultrasonography. The width of the posterior subtalar joint facet was measured in three groups - CAI group, asymptomatic group, and control group - and analyzed for differences. The results showed that the CAI group had a significantly greater width than the other two groups, and there were significant correlations between the width and subjective ankle instability.

Summary: This study established an animal model of ankle-subtalar joint complex instability in mice, and found that ligament injury can lead to mechanical instability and cartilage degeneration, affecting the mice's ability to move.

Summary: This study analyzed the change in the angle between the anterior talofibular (ATFL) and calcaneofibular (CFL) ligaments in patients diagnosed with chronic ankle instability. Results showed that the ATFL-CFL angle is smaller in these patients, indicating its potential as a reliable tool for assessing chronic ankle instability.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the strength of ankle evertor muscles in patients who underwent lateral ankle ligamentoplasty, with results indicating satisfactory outcomes for treating chronic ankle instability. Good functional scores and muscle strength tests confirmed the effectiveness of the surgery for patient recovery.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the rotational laxity of the subtalar joint bilaterally in patients with asymptomatic and symptomatic ankle instability. The results showed that patients suspected of having subtalar joint instability exhibited a wider range of subtalar rotational laxity. Furthermore, differences in kinematics between symptomatic and asymptomatic hindfeet were observed when both feet were compared.

Summary: The study suggests that spontaneous extensor tendon injury in rice farmers may be related to abrasion and dry friction of the wrist extensor retinaculum. The force applied during rice transplantation could be a potential cause of the injury, as abrasions were found on the front of the wrist extensor retinaculum.

Summary: The definitive diagnosis and optimal surgical treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability remains controversial. available biomechanical evidence suggests that arthroscopic and open repair techniques are equivalent in their ability to restore ankle stability, but there is still insufficient evidence to consider any particular procedure as superior. Further research and comparative clinical trials are necessary to determine the optimal treatment for chronic lateral ankle instability.

Summary: Ankle joint instability after acute lateral ankle sprain is an important factor for treatment decisions, but the use of ankle joint mechanical instability as a criterion for clinical decisions is unclear. This study examined the reliability and validity of an Automated Length Measurement System (ALMS) in ultrasonography for real-time measurement of anterior talofibular distance. The results show that ALMS has excellent reliability, comparable measurement values to manual methods, and the ability to detect differences in joint distances. ALMS can standardize and simplify ultrasonographic measurements without human error in clinical applications.

Summary: Sinus tarsi syndrome (STS) refers to pain located at the lateral opening of the tarsal sinus, and its exact etiology is not completely understood. This review aims to clarify the definition of STS, provide an algorithm for evaluation and treatment, and suggest avoiding the use of the term STS in favor of a more accurate diagnosis.

Summary: This study observed the anatomical characteristics of the lateral part of the inferior extensor retinaculum (IER) in order to guide surgical treatment of chronic ankle instability. The results showed that the IER had a tough texture and connected with the stem, indicating its potential for use in surgery.

Summary: The exact cause of subtalar instability is still unknown, with mechanisms and symptoms often overlapping with ankle instability leading to misdiagnosis. Correctly diagnosing and managing subtalar instability is crucial, as neglect may result in treatment failure and chronic ankle instability.
