Ankle sprain is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries. Initial treatment of choice in acute injury is conservative and is obtained by immobilization. The goal of such treatment is to heal ruptured capsular-ligamentous complex. However, despite the conservative treatment some patients develop chronic ankle instability as a result of injury. In those cases, surgical anatomical and non-anatomical ligamentous reconstruction is advised. Aim of the study was evaluation of the results obtained with various surgical techniques in view of published data. According to most authors, in patients who experienced chronic ankle instability, surgical technique of anatomical repair is preferred. In cases when anatomical repair might not be undertaken due to technical capabilities, anatomical reconstruction using autoor allografts is advised.

Electronic address:
Importance: Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) with an osteochondral fragment are amendable for fixation. Fixation aims to stabilize the osteochondral fragment while retaining the native cartilage. Though fixation for OLT is a promising treatment, no systematic overview of the literature on its efficacy and safety exists.

Objective: To conduct an exploratory systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of unstable surface training on balance and hop function in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI).
Data Sources: Four major electronic databases were searched, including Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, from January 1, 2000 to June 20, 2024.
Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials that compare unstable surface training with either general intervention or no intervention in individuals with CAI were included.

Background: Ankle joint moment and reaction force alteration after surgical treatment of chronic ankle instability (CAI) and osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) remains unknown.
Research Question: The current study aimed to investigate the in vivo kinetic effects of surgical management on patients with CAI and OLT and conduct a comparison with healthy subjects.
Methods: Eight patients with concurrent CAI and OLT were assessed in a stair descent setting prior to surgical management and one-year postoperatively.

Lower limb biomechanics of chronic ankle instability (CAI) individuals has been widely investigated, but few have evaluated the internal foot mechanics in CAI. This study evaluated bone and soft tissue stress in CAI contrasted with copers and non-injured participants during a cutting task. Integrating scanned 3D foot shapes and free-form deformation, sixty-six personalized finite element foot models were developed.

Background: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), a chronic inflammatory autoimmune illness, is characterized by synovitis, progressive joint damage, and bone erosion. Even though the potent drugs available contain biologics, several patients fail to react to them or cause hostile effects.
Objectives: Betanin (BTN), the betacyanin present in the red beetroot, has antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and apoptotic properties.
