The Ankle: Small Joint, Big Impact

Your ankle works hard. Every step depends on the seamless coordination of bones, ligaments, and muscles. The ligaments, especially the lateral and tibiofibular groups, are vital for joint stability and absorb significant mechanical stress.

Injuries to these ligaments—whether from sports, overuse, or trauma—can cause swelling, pain, and a frustrating loss of mobility. Without treatment, this delicate structure becomes unbalanced, and instability often follows.

That’s where we come in. Our orthopaedic specialists are trained in the most advanced ankle care available, including surgical repair when needed. We’re here to diagnose the root of your discomfort, restore function, and help you walk tall again.

Pay Attention to the Pain

While some sprains resolve on their own, others need more than ice and rest. Watch for these warning signs:

  • You can’t bear weight or walk normally
  • Swelling continues for more than three days
  • The injury involves a fall, open wound, or severe bruising
  • There’s a visible deformity or sharp pain

Unaddressed ligament injuries can lead to improper healing and long-term instability. The sooner we evaluate your ankle, the sooner we can prevent chronic pain and restore full function.

When Conservative Care Isn’t Enough

Some ankle injuries disrupt more than your routine—they affect your quality of life. If you’ve tried rest and therapy without relief, our orthopedic team is here to explore surgical solutions that restore your comfort and mobility.

Surgery may be recommended for:

  • Ankle fractures
  • Persistent or complete ligament tears
  • Ruptured Achilles tendons
  • Instability from repeated sprains
  • Damage to joint cartilage and bone (osteochondral lesions)
  • Ankle impingement pain
  • Arthritis following previous trauma
  • Torn or misaligned tendons
  • Ankle deformities affecting function

It's a big one. Rehab is crucial to your outcome—it helps you regain strength, mobility, and balance so you can return to the life you love.
