Ankle ligament reconstruction is a surgery that
is frequently used on patients who have chronic
ankle instability and recurrent ankle sprains. It
is useful for healing damaged ligaments,
tightening and loosening ligaments, and
increasing overall joint stability. If all other
treatment options have failed, Ankle Ligament
Surgery can help you get back on your feet.

Ankle Ligament Surgery Procedure

• The ankle ligament reconstruction surgery is done
  outpatient while the patient is sedated with a
  general anesthetic. Depending on the state of the
  ankle, the surgeon may employ a variety of
  procedures. Torn ligaments may be restored using
  stitches or sutures during the treatment, two
  ligaments may be reattached, or a portion of a
  lateral tendon surrounding the ankle may be
  utilized to repair the torn ligament. Following
  the surgery, an ankle splint or cast is inserted.
  This operation might take up to 3 hours to
  complete.

Recovery Period

• Patients will need crutches for up to two weeks
  after surgery. After that, they will be able to
  walk in a detachable walking boot. Physical
  therapy is an important element of the recovery
  process that normally begins around six weeks
  after surgery. Physical therapy treatments aim to
  increase the range of motion while minimizing
  pressure on the recovering tendons.
  Muscle-strengthening and range-of-motion
  exercises may all be utilized to improve mobility
  and movement.
• After four-five months, most patients are totally
  recovered from ankle ligament reconstruction and
  can resume all usual activities, including
  jogging and exercising.
