Evaluation of Proprioception in Patients Treated With Surgical External Ankle Ligament Recontruction for Traumatic Ankle Instability

The patients will then be divided into two control groups: one group will undergo reconditioning through the Delos system and one group will undergo standard rehabilitation treatment.

Primary outcome: improvement of joint stability and postoperative proprioception after reconditioning with the Delos system.

Secondary outcomes: improvement of performance indicators and reduction of disability and satisfaction and assessment of long-term ankle stability after reconditioning with Delos system.
