Ankle stabilisation surgery

If the ankle is unstable and there have been several sprains, the cartilage in the ankle joint can be damaged. It may therefore be necessary to have ankle stabilisation surgery.

Damage to the cartilage in the ankle joint can be caused by malalignment of the joint due to too many sprains, cartilage injuries or osteoarthritis.

What are the symptoms?

The main symptom is pain when the ankle joint is loaded, as well as swelling. Mobility is often reduced and swelling is common after greater strain.

How is the treatment carried out?

CPH Privathospital’s surgeons have extensive experience with ankle stabilisation surgery. During the operation, the ankle joint is examined, if necessary, to assess any cartilage/bone damage. The ligaments that are loose are stabilised individually according to the laxity in each patient, thereby eliminating any malalignment of the ankle.

The patient is placed in a splint for 3 weeks, and for a further 3 weeks with firm taping. After that, the ankle is trained with a physiotherapist for 2-3 months.
