Abstract: Chronic ankle instability often develops when acute lateral ankle ligament injuries, like ankle sprains, are left untreated or are poorly managed. Typically, conservative treatment is preferred for these injuries, reserving surgical intervention for specific cases. Surgery may become necessary if rigorous rehabilitation does not yield satisfactory results. Several surgical options exist, including anatomic repair, anatomic reconstruction, and tenodesis procedures. Anatomic repair is feasible when the ligaments are in good condition. However, if the ligaments are severely damaged, anatomic reconstruction using either autografts or allografts is recommended. Additionally, ankle arthroscopy can be performed alongside ligament repair to address any intra-articular issues contributing to chronic instability. While tenodesis techniques have been used, they are generally discouraged due to their less favourable long-term outcomes, particularly because they can alter the biomechanics of the ankle and hind foot. Ultimately, surgical treatment for chronic lateral ankle ligament instability is beneficial for patients who have not responded to non-operative approaches, with open anatomic reconstruction being a reliable method for stabilizing the ankle. This article presents a unique case where the anterior tibiofibular ligament reconstruction was done in a polio foot along with which additional procedures were carried out to correct the deformities of the foot and to make the ankle stable.
