Understanding Ankle Instability

Evaluation and treatment for chronic ankle instability to restore stability, prevent re-injury, and return you safely to activity.

Why does the Ankle Instability deteriorate?

Instability progresses when initial ligament injuries are not fully healed, rehabilitation is incomplete, or repeated sprains occur. Weak muscles, poor balance, foot malalignment, or untreated nerve problems also prevent recovery and cause chronic instability.

How does Ankle Instability help?

Treatment strengthens the ligaments and muscles around the ankle, restores balance and proprioception, and corrects mechanical problems. This reduces giving-way episodes, pain, and long-term joint wear.

Benefits of Modern TKR Techniques:

Restores ankle stability
Reduces risk of repeat sprains
Improves balance and confidence
Allows safe return to sports and work
Prevents long-term cartilage damage
Combines rehab and surgery when needed

Is It Time for Ankle Instability

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be time to consult a Ankle Instability specialist:

Frequent giving way ankle feels unstable during walking or sport
Recurrent sprains twisting injuries with minimal force
Ongoing pain around the outer ankle after activity
Swelling after exertion intermittent swelling after long walks or exercise
Difficulty on uneven ground reduced confidence while walking outdoors
Reduced performance cannot return to previous sports level

Choosing the Right Procedure

Not all Ankle Instability are the same. Dr. Hemendra Agrawal offers personalized treatment based on your specific condition.

TypeBest ForWhat It InvolvesRecovery Time
Physiotherapy & Proprioception TrainingMost patients, first-lineBalance, strengthening, and neuromuscular exercises4–12 weeks
Functional Bracing & TapingSupport during rehab or sportExternal support to protect ligamentsImmediate support; used for months as needed
PRP / Injection TherapyPartial ligament tears or chronic symptomsBiologic injections to promote healing4–8 weeks
Arthroscopic Assessment & RepairPersistent mechanical symptoms or cartilage damageKeyhole evaluation and targeted repair or debridement6–10 weeks
Broström-Gould Ligament RepairChronic lateral ligament instabilityOpen repair and reinforcement with local tissues10–12 weeks
Ligament Reconstruction / Tendon GraftSevere tears or failed previous repairUse of tendon graft to reconstruct ligaments12–16 weeks
Correction of Foot/Ankle Alignment (Osteotomy)Instability due to malalignmentBone realignment to restore mechanics8–16 weeks

Physiotherapy & Proprioception Training

Structured rehab restores muscle control and prevents re-injury in the majority of cases.

Functional Bracing & Taping

Provides stability during activity and allows safe progressive loading.

PRP / Injection Therapy

May help tissue healing and reduce symptoms when combined with rehab.

Arthroscopic Assessment & Repair

Allows treatment of associated cartilage injuries and precise ligament repair.

Broström-Gould Ligament Repair

Gold-standard surgery for recurrent instability with high success rates.

Ligament Reconstruction / Tendon Graft

Rebuilds strong ligament support when native tissue is insufficient.

Correction of Foot/Ankle Alignment (Osteotomy)

Addresses underlying structural causes to improve long-term stability.

The Ankle Instability Procedure - Step by Step

Understanding the process helps reduce anxiety and prepares you for a smooth recovery.

Phase 1

Assessment & Imaging

  • Clinical instability tests
  • X-ray to rule out fractures
  • MRI to check ligaments/cartilage
Phase 2

Conservative Care (0–12 weeks)

  • Physiotherapy plan
  • Bracing/taping during activity
  • Activity modification
Phase 3

Adjunct Therapies (4–12 weeks)

  • PRP or targeted injections if needed
  • Progressive sport-specific training
Phase 4

Surgical Planning (If Conservative Fails)

  • Choose repair vs reconstruction
  • Correct alignment problems if required
Phase 5

Post-Op Rehabilitation (10–16 weeks)

  • Protected weight bearing
  • Gradual mobilization
  • Strength & proprioception training
