Chronic Instability / Repeated Sprains

About this condition

Repeated sprains can leave the ligaments loose, so the ankle gives way on uneven ground. Physiotherapy and bracing help many people; persistent giving way, or damage inside the joint, needs further assessment and sometimes surgery.

What you may notice

An ankle that keeps giving way, especially on uneven ground or during sport.

How we help

Assess the ligaments and the joint. Many settle with physiotherapy and bracing; ligament repair or reconstruction is considered if the ankle stays unstable.
