Understanding Ankle Ligament Reconstruction Surgery

Ankle ligaments are crucial cords that link foot bones to lower leg bones, ensuring stability to prevent ankle twisting, folding, or collapse. Ankle sprains are a common injury that ranges in severity from moderate to severe, caused by these ligaments undergoing straining or tearing. These injuries usually result from abrupt, violent twisting, rolling, or turning of the ankle beyond its normal range while playing sports, walking on uneven terrain, or tripping and falling. Ankle sprains or ankle ligament injury are the typical terms for the ensuing abnormal alignment of the ankle that may cause

  1. Understanding Ankle Ligament Reconstruction Surgery Ankle ligaments are crucial cords that link foot bones to lower leg bones, ensuring stability to prevent ankle twisting, folding, or collapse. Ankle sprains are a common injury that ranges in severity from moderate to severe, caused by these ligaments undergoing straining or tearing. These injuries usually result from abrupt, violent twisting, rolling, or turning of the ankle beyond its normal range while playing sports, walking on uneven terrain, or tripping and falling. Ankle sprains or ankle ligament injury are the typical terms for the ensuing abnormal alignment of the ankle that may cause a strain or tear in the ligament. Sportsmen and those who sustain recurrent ankle sprains are often at risk for chronic ankle instability, which is the result of an ankle sprain that has not fully healed or was not entirely rehabilitated. This is in addition to damage to the ankle ligaments.Prolonged soreness, swelling, tenderness, and an unstable or wobbly feeling in the ankle are among the symptoms. If left untreated, it may result in chronic cartilage degradation and ankle arthritis. The ankle comprises three primary sets of ligaments:

  2. ● The medial ligaments, also known as deltoid ligaments, originate from the medial malleolus and extend to connect with the talus, calcaneus. ● The lateral ligaments that connect the talus and calcaneus to the lateral malleolus are the navicular bones. ● The syndesmotic ligaments, which link the tibia and fibula. Ligament Injury Causes Ligament injuries can occur due to various causes, but they often result from twisting body parts or experiencing hard or awkward landings. Usually, tears result from fully stretched ligaments that are subsequently subjected to impact or stress. Ankle sprains, for instance, are caused by a small tear in the ligaments of the ankle and can happen when someone falls awkwardly and twists their ankle when walking or running. The knee and ankle ligaments are particularly vulnerable to tearing because they are weight-bearing ligaments that are frequently under stress. Individuals who participate in sports characterized by full contact, such as hockey and football, or those involving frequent changes of direction, like basketball and tennis, are at higher risk of experiencing ligament injuries. 1.
