Abstract
Chronic deltoid instability (CDI), or medial ankle instability, can happen following traumas of the foot and ankle, predominantly rotational injuries. CDI is frequently underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Long-term residual instability can lead to ankle posttraumatic arthritis. Adequate assessment of patients with suspected CDI is paramount. Conservative treatment can be tried for stable or mildly unstable cases, but surgical treatment is usually needed for the more severely unstable patients, or when conservative measures fail. Few reconstruction techniques have been proposed in the setting of posttraumatic CDI. This article describes our preferred technique for reconstruction of the deep components of the deltoid ligament.
