Research progress of postoperative rehabilitation in patients with chronic lateral ankle intability / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Surgeries for chronic lateral ankle intability patients have been applied at home and abroad for many years,although operation techniques have been improved,there have been some lags between operation and postoperative rehabilitation.Insufficent rehabilitation after repair or reconstruction would limit ankle range of motion in patients,otherwise undue rehabilitation would impair the tendon-bone interfaces so as to render recurrence of ankle instability symptom.Systematic postoperative rehabilitation should be evidence-based,some articles about tissue healing and rehabilitation,together with latest international concepts on rehibilitation,can be used to instruct patients rehabilitation in different phrases.In this paper,we summarized the rehabilitation of chronic lateral ankle intability.
