It is important to remove the brace when doing the actual balance exercises but otherwise the brace should be worn all day. Orthotics are often used to decrease stress on the specific tendon that is causing the snapping and to improve joint alignment. Orthotics act to keep the tendons in better alignment which helps prevent them from slipping out of place. Some patients do well in over-the-counter arch supports and other patients require a custom orthotic to more effectively stabilize the ankle.
Whether you use a prefabricated or custom orthotic we will modify the orthotic to provide the best stabilization for the ankle and the peroneal tendons.
If you try an over-the-counter arch support you should get one that is firm and conforms as close to the arch as possible in order to stabilize the ankle and the peroneal tendons as much as possible.
For lace-up shoes we usually recommend the FootChair Orthotic with adjustable arch height. The FootChair Orthotic has a very supportive arch which helps in stabilizing the ankle. It also comes with pads that can be added to increase the arch height for even more support for those who need it.
Orthotics for peroneal subluxation incorporate specific modifications that help stabilize the peroneal tendons. Some of these modifications will be included in the initial prescription and others will be added after you have worn the orthotics for several weeks. In rare situations, surgery may be required to resolve the issue. This is especially true of patients with high levels of activity, such as athletes.
While every effort will be made to stabilize and support the ankle to improve the condition, and while surgery is always a last resort, it may be required to deepen the groove in the bone or repair the fibrous tissue band, or both. Again, surgery should be considered only as a last resort and every effort will first be made to treat the condition conservatively before resorting to surgery.
Post-surgery therapy will include immobilization and physical therapy before full weight bearing activity may be resumed. If you have begun to experience a snapping sound in the ankle, or pain in your ankles, make an appointment to see us today in our Seattle foot and ankle clinic.

The above discussed causes of cracking sound in ankle are evaluated by ultrasound and radiological studies of patient suffering with Crackling Ankle. The most published data suggests the cracking sound is produced by the synovial fluid that gushes to fill the gap caused by stretching or rotation of ankle joint.
As discussed above, Cracking Ankles is nothing but the synovial fluid producing the sound. There is no involvement of the bones or ligaments producing crackling sound. Hence the chances of soft tissue or bone injury is rare. However, people are prone for serious injury who have genetically weak bones or lax ankle joint in presence of ankle joint cracking.
The serious ankle injuries in these cases are observed following abnormal twist or turn of the ankle joint. The severe injuries observed with cracking ankles are dislocations or subluxation with fracture of ankle joint.
Serious ankle injury is often caused by twist and turn of lax ankle joint during jogging or rapid walking. This sort of injury is common in athletes who do gymnastics or sprinting which puts a lot of pressure on the ankles. Thus, it is recommended that people who have a history of lax or weak joints should avoid habitually cracking their ankles by rotating it several times so as to prevent any injury down the road.
