What is Ankle Ligament Reconstruction?
Ankle ligament reconstruction is an outpatient procedure that repairs a damaged or torn ankle ligament and stabilizes the joint. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes about one hour. Procedure steps include the following:
Incision. An incision in the ankle is made near the damaged ligament
Reconstruction. Sutures repair the ligament or a ligament graft reconstructs it. A graft may be made from the patient’s tendons or harvested from a cadaver.
