Ligament repairs

There are many ligaments responsible for stabilising the ankle joint to stop it from becoming repeatedly damaged when giving way. When one of these ligaments is injured, the risk of future arthritis may be increased and patients may complain of instability and pain. Ligament injuries can only be detected by very subtle clues on an X-ray and are commonly missed. If a patient experiences any instability, giving-way or pain in the ankle, it would be advisable to seek the opinion of a specialist foot and ankle surgeon.
