We
report on the case of a
patient with chronic instability of the ball-and-socket
ankle joint . The
patient , a 21-year-old
male , was diagnosed 10 years previously with chronic instability of the ball-and-socket
ankle joint . He underwent Broström
procedure and augmentation using a periosteal turn down from the
fibula for this chronic instability despite having received
conservative treatment since the
diagnosis . After the
procedure , the clinical symptoms of
ankle instability were improved and the
patient is being periodically followedup. We
report on this case of using a Broström
procedure as a
treatment option for
patients with instability of the ball-and-socket
ankle joint with
normal range of
foot and normal
ankle joint alignment without damage in the
joint and
cartilage .
