This foot and ankle procedure is performed to correct chronic ankle instability that has not responded to treatment such as physical therapy. Ankle instability occurs when ligaments are stretched or torn, often after repeated ankle sprains. A simple repair, known as the Bröstrom-Gould technique, is ideal for athletes who need to retain full range of motion.

Chronic instability can also contribute to chronic lateral ankle pain and may occur alongside conditions affecting the tendons on the outside of the ankle, such as peroneal tendon tears and peroneal tendonitis. Your Resurgens Orthopaedics physician will evaluate the ankle to determine whether ligament reconstruction is the right option.
