Lateral Ankle Ligament Reconstruction


What it is
This procedure is performed to correct chronic ankle instability that has not responded to treatment such as physical therapy. Ankle instability occurs when ligaments are stretched or torn. A simple repair, known as the Brostrom-Gould technique, is ideal for athletes who need to retain full range of motion.
