What is Chronic Ankle Instability?

Chronic ankle instability is a condition that can develop after repeated ankle sprains. It is characterized by a 'giving way' of the outer side of the ankle. It usually occurs after a sprain has incorrectly healed. Treatment may include physical therapy, bracing, and rarely surgery.
