If you are experiencing ankle instability, ankle ligament reconstruction may be necessary to correct it. Your orthopedic ankle surgeon will have many options when it comes to ankle ligament reconstruction.
One possibility is using a tendon to reconstruct the injured ligaments. During this procedure, a tendon is placed in the ankle and woven into the bones, then secured in place through use of a screw and internal sutures (the screw may not always be required). This restores structural integrity and support to the ankle, relieving pain and improving quality of life.
