Methods: This is a retrospective study of 19 patients with persistent lateral ankle instability diagnosis after a primary ligament repair treated between 2011 and 2019. The surgical technique is described in detail in which stabilization of the lateral ankle is performed. 11 men and 8 women with a mean age of 30.94 years (15-53). Follow up was 29.05 months (6-109). Pre and postoperative AOFAS ankle score were used as well as an AVS and a satisfaction questionnaire. Results: There was a significant improvement in AOFAS score, 76.31 to 91.47 (
