Ankle ligament surgery is generally highly effective for individuals with severe ligament injuries, chronic instability, or repeated ankle sprains that don’t respond to conservative treatments. Here’s a breakdown of its effectiveness.
1. Success Rate - The success rate is around 85-95%, depending on the type of surgery and patient adherence to rehabilitation.Most patients regain stability and function, reducing the risk of future sprains.
2. Pain Relief & Stability - Surgery repairs or reconstructs the damaged ligaments, leading to improved ankle stability. It significantly reduces pain and swelling associated with chronic instability.
3. Recovery & Rehabilitation - Recovery typically takes 3-6 months, depending on the severity of the injury and type of surgery.Physical therapy is essential for regaining strength, balance, and mobility.
4. Long-Term Outcomes - Studies show that most patients return to normal activities within 6 months and sports within a year.
5. Risks & Complications - As with any surgery, there’s a small risk of infection, nerve damage, or blood clots.In rare cases, ligament laxity may persist, requiring additional treatment.
