      <abstract>
        <p>We present the case of a patient who was seen for follow-up after 5 months of rehabilitation following surgical procedures to address instability in both the medial and lateral sides of her ankle. This patient reported achieving an excellent outcome, and her subjective sense of significant improvement after rehabilitation was aligned with her physical exam and radiographic evaluation. This case documents the improvements made by the patient during the rehabilitation process and outlines essential steps to be performed by the practitioner in the clinical examination and radiographic follow-up after surgery for ankle instability.</p>
