Aim:

Ankle sprains are one of the most common sports injuries. Around 10–20 % of the acute ankle sprains may lead to the sequelae of chronic ankle instability. Around 15–35% of the patients have residual pain following successful lateral ligament reconstruction. One of the reasons suggested for the persistent symptoms following lateral ligament reconstruction has been the presence of intra-articular pathology.

Methods and materials:

We performed ankle arthroscopy on all patients undergoing the modified Brostrom repair and compared patients with associated intra-articular pathology to those without any intra-articular pathology.
