FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is the Broström procedure?
The Broström procedure tightens and repairs your own ligaments (ATFL and CFL). It's the most common surgery for ankle instability and has excellent results with minimal complications.
When do I need a tendon graft for my ankle?
Tendon graft reconstruction is used when the native ligaments are too damaged to repair, in revision cases, or in very heavy or hypermobile patients.
Can I run after ankle ligament surgery?
Yes, most patients return to running at 3-4 months and sports at 4-6 months. The ankle is typically stronger and more stable than before surgery.
