Lateral ankle instability is a complex condition that can, at times, prove difficult to evaluate and treat for general practitioners. The difficulty in evaluation and treatment is due in part to the ankle complex is composed of three joints: talocrural, subtalar, and tibiofibular syndesmosis. All three joints function in conjunction to allow complex motions of the ankle joint. The main contributors to the stability of the ankle joint are the articular surfaces, the ligamentous complex and the musculature – which allows for the dynamic stabilization of the joints. This activity reviews the etiology, presentation, evaluation, and management of lateral ankle instability, and reviews the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating, diagnosing, and managing the condition.
