ABSTRACT
Lateral ligament injuries are the most common injuries of the ankle joint and are usually treated with early weight bearing after a short period of immobilization. If the clinical presentation is suspicious, additional injuries to the deltoid ligament complex and the syndesmosis should be considered. The indications for additional diagnostics should be generously applied. Injuries to the deltoid ligament usually occur as part of a complex ankle injury and should also be addressed in the surgical treatment of accompanying injuries. Chronic instability in this area necessitates complex bony and soft tissue procedures. Syndesmotic injuries with insufficiency of the capsule-ligament apparatus are frequent in ankle fractures and are stabilized during fracture treatment. Isolated syndesmotic instability should also be surgically treated as chronic injuries are usually associated with poor clinical results and early osteoarthritis.
