ligament augmentation

Ligament augmentation is a medical procedure that involves strengthening or reinforcing a damaged ligament, often using a surgical graft or supportive materials. This process helps the ligament heal more effectively and provides additional stability to a joint, such as the knee or ankle. It is commonly used in cases where a ligament is torn or weakened, reducing the risk of re-injury and promoting a better recovery. By augmenting the ligament, doctors aim to restore normal function and prevent future problems, enabling the patient to regain strength and stability more reliably.
