Abstract

We reviewed 14 patients with chronic lateral instability of the ankle treated by Colville's technique between 1996 and 2001. The mean patient age was 25 (20–35) years and all were men. The mean period between injury and surgery was 25 (18–32) months, and the mean follow-up was 20 (14–32) months. Twelve of the results were excellent and two were good according to the criteria of Chrisman and Snook. All patients returned to normal daily activity levels at an average of 6 months following surgery.
