A case of recurrent instability of the ankle is reported. It was associated with a separate centre of ossification in the lateral malleolus. While such extra ossification centres for both malleoli are recognized, they have not hitherto been incriminated as a cause of instability. The successful treatment of this case is described and the incidence and significance of separate ossification centres for the malleoli are discussed.
本文报道了一例复发性踝关节不稳定病例。该病例与外踝的一个独立骨化中心有关。虽然双踝的这种额外骨化中心已为人所知，但迄今为止它们尚未被认定为不稳定的原因。本文描述了该病例的成功治疗方法，并讨论了踝关节独立骨化中心的发生率及意义。
