Ankle stability restored with Brostrom surgical technique
The Brostrom technique is a surgical procedure used to repair a torn or stretched ligament in the ankle. The procedure involves making a small incision on the outer side of the ankle and reattaching the ligament to the bone using sutures or anchors. This technique is commonly used to treat ankle instability caused by a sprain or other injury. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, and patients can expect to stay in the hospital for a day or two after the procedure. Recovery time varies, but patients typically need to wear a cast or brace for several weeks and undergo physical therapy to regain strength and mobility in the ankle. The Brostrom technique is a highly effective treatment option for ankle instability and can help patients return to their normal activities with improved ankle function and reduced risk of future injuries.
