A sprained ankle is quite a common injury. Around 25000 people sprain their ankles on a daily basis and it can happen to athletes and non athletes alike, adults and children. A sprained ankle may occur when you take part in fitness activities or sports or by simply walking on an uneven surface, or stepping down at an angle.

A ligament is an elastic structure that holds the ankle joint and bones in position. If there is a severe out-turning or in-turning of the foot relative to the ankle, the ligament may stretch beyond their normal length. If the force is too strong, the ligament may also tear, resulting in a popping sound, pain and swelling.

The amount of damage to the ligament determines the grade of sprain.

• Grade 1 sprain: A mild sprain with slight stretching and slight damage to the fibres of the ligament.
• Grade 2 sprain: Partial tearing of the ligament
• Grade 3 sprain: Complete tear of the ligament.

Surgical Treatment for Sprained Ankles:

Surgical Treatment for Ankle Sprains is reserved for injuries that fail to respond properly to nonsurgical treatment and persistent instability over the course of several months.

Surgical options include:

Arthroscopy – A surgeon will look inside the joint and look for any loose fragments of bone or cartilage or any part of the ligament that is stuck in the joint.

Reconstruction – A surgeon will repair the torn ligament with sutures or stitches, or he may even have to use other tendons or ligaments from the foot to repair the sprained ankle.
