What Are Ankle Surgeries?
Ankle surgeries encompass procedures to treat fractures, ligament injuries, chronic instability, arthritis, or deformities of the ankle joint. Depending on the condition, the surgery may involve arthroscopic repair, ligament reconstruction, removal of loose bodies, joint fusion, or total ankle replacement. The goal is to restore stability, reduce pain, and improve functional mobility.
Common Reasons for Ankle Surgery
Ankle surgery may be recommended for patients experiencing pain, instability, or limited function due to:
- Ankle fractures or traumatic injuries requiring stabilization.
- Chronic ankle instability due to torn ligaments (e.g., ATFL injuries).
- Osteochondritis dissecans or cartilage damage in the ankle joint.
- Arthritis or degenerative changes causing chronic pain and reduced motion.
- Presence of loose bodies or impingement affecting ankle function.
Surgical Process and Recovery
Ankle surgery is typically performed under general or regional anesthesia with precise preoperative planning. Depending on the procedure, surgery may involve arthroscopy, fracture fixation, ligament reconstruction, or joint fusion. Advanced implants and minimally invasive techniques help achieve stable and durable outcomes.
- Hospital stay ranges from 1–3 days depending on the complexity of the procedure.
- Early mobilization and physiotherapy begin shortly after surgery to prevent stiffness.
- Gradual strengthening and weight-bearing exercises are introduced as healing progresses.
- Most patients regain functional mobility and reduced pain within 2–6 months.
