Ankle Stabilization Surgery

Ankle stabilization surgery is a procedure designed to repair and tighten damaged ligaments that help keep the ankle firm and stable, especially after repeated or severe ankle sprains. When these ligaments are torn or overstretched, the ankle can become loose, increasing the risk of further injuries. During the surgery, the surgeon may use stitches or small anchors to reattach or reinforce the ligaments, restoring stability. This procedure often helps reduce pain, improve function, and allows patients to return to normal activities or sports with a decreased risk of ankle giving way again.
