摘　　要：Lateral ankle instability is one of the most common and well-recognized conditions presenting to foot and ankle surgeons.It may exist as an isolated entity or in conjunction with other concomitant pathology,making it important to appropriately diagnose and identify other conditions that may need to be addressed as part of treatment.These associated conditions may be a source of chronic pain,even when the instability has been appropriately treated,or may lead to failure of treatment by predisposing the patient to ankle inversion injuries.The primary goal of this editorial is to provide a brief summary of the common techniques used in the delayed reconstruction of lateral ankle ligamentous injuries and present a method we have successfully employed for over 15 years.We will also briefly discuss the diagnosis and treatment of the more common associated conditions,which are important to identify to achieve satisfactory results for the patient.We present the outcomes of 250 consecutive reconstructions performed over the last 10 years and describe our operative technique for addressing lateral ankle ligamentous injuries.
