Our Ankle Treatments
Ankle Ligament Reconstruction
Ankle ligament reconstruction is designed to restore stability to the ankle after injuries or chronic ligament laxity. This procedure reinforces or reconstructs damaged ligaments, helping to prevent repeated ankle sprains and allowing a return to pain-free, stable movement.
Ankle Cartilage Restoration
Cartilage restoration techniques repair damaged cartilage in the ankle joint, which can help reduce pain and improve function. These treatments encourage natural healing and help maintain joint mobility, offering relief from pain caused by cartilage wear or injury.
Arthroscopic Repairs and Mobility Restoration
Our minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures address various ankle issues, from joint pain to ligament and tendon injuries. Using a small camera, we can diagnose and repair damaged structures, promoting faster recovery, reducing pain, and restoring mobility.
