Lateral Ankle Ligament Reconstruction (ALR)
Chronic ankle instability can result from repeated sprains that damage the ligaments on the outside of the ankle. Over time, this leads to pain, swelling, and the risk of future injuries.
Lateral ankle ligament reconstruction (ALR) involves tightening or reconstructing the damaged ligaments, often using a patient’s own tissue or a graft. This procedure restores ankle stability, improves mobility, and reduces the likelihood of repeat sprains.
