The indications for surgical treatment of ankle instability include:

complete rupture of ligaments with acute instability of the ankle joint, which seriously disrupts biomechanics and prevents the patient from returning to normal activity,
another habitual ankle sprain, which could not be brought about by conservative treatment to a state in which the patient could function freely without pain symptoms,
chronic mechanical instability, when conservative treatment does not bring the results expected by the patient, e.g. alleviating pain,

The Internal Bracing method is based on the use of strong sutures or a non-absorbable polystyrene tape, which additionally strengthens the repair performed on the patient's own tissues - in the case of the ankle joint of the articular bag with a ligament. The advantage of the Internal Bracing method is the preservation of your own ligament without the need to collect the graft and faster return to normal activity after the procedure due to the high primary strength of the implants.

Untreated chronic ankle instability increases the risk of habitual ankle sprains, subsequent cartilage and / or sagittal injuries, and leads to the acceleration of degenerative changes manifested by gradual limitation of the range of motion and ankle pain that makes walking difficult.
