Chronic ankle sprains may lead to instability. 90% of ankle sprains are managed conservatively. With Cam-Walkers, ankle braces, physical therapy etc. The cases presented are of two athletes who failed to return to their sports due to chronic pain and instability. Both were treated via Brostrum type lateral ankle stabilization augmented by an internal ligament brace, which can be seen on arthrex.com. Recovery and results have been amazing and I now treat all brostrum repairs with an internal ligament brace adding further stabilization and reducing recovery time in half.
