Ankle ligament injuries are common and mostly they heal by themselves, however, sometimes nature needs a helping hand, particularly for more severe injuries where surgery is required to reattach or reconstruct the ligaments.​

​

• An MRI scan is required before surgery, which Mr Parker will arrange for you

 

• Surgery is performed as a day case under general anaesthetic

​​

• 3 weeks in a plaster followed by 3 weeks in a moon boot is required post surgery 

​​

• You will be fit to return to work/drive 6-8 weeks post surgery

​​

• You will require 5-6 sessions of physiotherapy after having your surgery.

​

Please always remember to ask Mr Parker at your consultation reference any specific recovery queries relating to your job or lifestyle.
