Resection of Ligament

Resection of a ligament is a surgical procedure that involves removing part or all of a ligament, which is a tough band of tissue that connects bones at a joint. This surgery is often performed to repair injuries, relieve pain, or correct joint instability when the ligament is damaged or diseased. The goal is to restore proper function and improve movement in the affected area. Recovery may include physical therapy to strengthen surrounding muscles and regain range of motion. Resection is typically considered when other treatment options, like rest or physical therapy, have not provided sufficient relief.
