Chronic ankle instability is a significant cause of morbidity. There are well-documented and effective surgical options for managing this condition. However, conservative management can be a viable option in selected patients. Failure of conservative management can be an indication for surgery if morbidity warrants it. Surgery can be delayed without necessarily affecting outcome.
