Abstract

The ankle joint is the most congruent joint of the human body. Stability is provided by the bony configuration of the ankle mortise and the talar dome and by the ankle ligaments. During ankle motions, rotation and translation around and along the movement axes occur. Soft tissue stability is provided mainly by the ligaments. This article discusses ankle instability, injuries, and reconstruction
