β¦ Synopsis
Four cases of recurrent instability of the ankle joint are reported. The instability was associated with a separate centre of ossification of the lateral malleolus and abnormal movement between the ossicle and the distal fibula. All patients were successfully treated by surgery: two underwent internal fixation and ligamentous reconstruction and two, ligamentous reconstruction after removal of the ossicle.

A follow-up study is presented of 27 patients with 29 ankles treated for disabling lateral instability by a modification of the Evans repair, previously described by Ottosson. The median follow-up period was 39 months. Excellent or good results were found in 93% of the ankles. We recommend this modi
