Just had ATFL and CFL total tear surgery last month. I could walk without ankle booth after 2.5 weeks. Sometimes it swollen if I walk too excessively but overall, the result is good although I still perceive stiffness in my ankles
So how weak is the stuff they use to keep whatever in place? The fabric of whatever it is. I’d like to know, because I think mine might have broke…and I have no idea how.
So does the wire and screw ever come out? Or it stays in there? I currently have 2 partial torn ligaments which looks like it healing but still some pain around me ankle. I really don’t want to do surgery
An innovative approach to ankle stability—supporting natural healing while reducing re-injury risk. Exciting to see advancements that enhance surgical outcomes and long-term mobility for patients!
Who benefits from this surgery because i tore that mf few months back and never got it checked for months and when i went to see my doc he recommended physical therapy
In March this year, I twisted my left ankle after landing on an opponent’s foot during a basketball game. For some reason, my opponent extended his leg forward under me, and I landed on it. Those who play basketball know that twisting an ankle happens once every few years, and it usually heals within a few weeks. This time, I thought it would be the same, but the pain persisted. I ended up consulting ten orthopedic surgeons; only the ninth and tenth confirmed a tear in the talofibular ligament and recommended surgery. On November 7, 2024, I underwent the operation and am now in the first stage of rehabilitation. Today is the third day post-operation, and the pain has slightly subsided. If anyone is interested, feel free to ask questions—I’ll be happy to answer them. I’ll also periodically update my status here.
I have severely sprained ATFL and CFL, after fracturing (avuslion) of Cuboid and 5th Metesarel – The physio said it is long journey of recovery – My ankle is very weak and still painful and even tender where the ligaments are to touch! He said we check back in a few weeks for more weight-bearing on this foot alone – but been 4 months since the breaks and he said with two ligatments sprained it could take up 9 months for some sort of recvoery!! Another 3 weeks for the job with high walking invloved!
Okay so recently I rolled down a hill and had an X-ray done because of ankle pain, my growth plate looked off so I was put onto a boot. It wasn’t fractured but was definitely sprained. It has been about two weeks since then, and my ankle still hurts internally. I have to crack it and stretch it before moving or it hurts immensely. I don’t know if this is a doctor type case or should I just thug it out.
On-duty law enforcement injury that led to me having this surgery approximately 2 years ago…
I have 7/10 aches and pains on a daily basis, 25 years old- athletic physique- 5’08” 190lbs.
It took me about a month in a cast with no leg usage. Then about another on crutches, but still felt incredibly unstable. I began walking around with a cane after my crutches to allow my ankle more time to heal post surgery.
I went to Physical Therapy twice a week, for about a year, paid for by worker’s comp, and it helped a lot with my overall mobility, but only got back maybe around 65-70% total mobility.
During this time, I gained about 25lbs due to not wanting to work out from the pain. I kept saying, “I’ll give it more time to heal”.
2 years later and I’m back in the gym, consistently, and I can lift and do my everyday life including working LAPD. However, the pain still aches and hurts every second of the day. I’m sitting right now, and my ankle is throbbing.
What I’m trying to do is lose body fat, to put overall less stress on my ankle and weight lifting to bring back the surrounding muscles in my leg to help aid the ankle. Working out definitely makes it more sore, but I feel like I’m becoming more resilient. I figured I had my ankle for 23 years, prior to the surgery… it’ll take me a good amount of time to start feeling “back to normal”. So far, it definitely hasn’t but one can only hope.
If I go into a foot pursuit of a suspect, I can do just fine and last a good amount of time (before my weak cardio starts to kick in). However, my ankle will be swollen like a sprain right after. The good thing is the pain is always constantly at a 7, so when you do hurt it like this, it bumps up to about an 8.
Feel free to send me a message on IG @chrisjuly723 if you would like to know more or have any questions… best of luck to those needing the surgery! Hope this helps…
Ive been walking around with a complete atlf tear for two year and a partial tear in the cfl and I may need this surgery soon as my ankle rolls often 😅 thanks to medical negligence when my initial injury happened!
after 3 weeks i Just got my stitches removed & my doctor suggested i dont need any physical therapy instead Suggested i buy a elastic mcdavid brace for my ankle And he would like to see me in a week… Should i still consider the PT ?
The tearing of atfl was the result of a dumb jump in the middle of the basketball game . Does anybody have idea about what i can do for it? It was 6 months ago but my doctor said that i dont have to do a surgery and it will be okay.but now i still feel pain in my ankle and somethings its colour changes to red…..should i di this surgery?
All 3, atfl, CFL and PTFL are torn completely r foot… Could you recommend links to show my employer, as they're expecting me to be able to return to the school school immediately after surgery… And I'm not being listened to as my whole ankle is in a cast for 8 weeks following this xx
I use old soccer ⚽️ shoes but end up ankle twisted so bad . 2019 up to know —- I’m scared to go surgery my doctor told me he want to use Metal because no cartilage at all or my cartilage is totally done . So need a new one . Could anyone have idea what should I do . Now . Mayo clinics Minnesota, Rochester.
after playing badminton for more than 15 years i just had a severe ankle sprain yesterday night playing it late night 😢 totally avoidable cos my frnds are all done tired and stopped playing but i insisted to play one more game and my ankle twist happened which was also totally avoidable i tried an unplayable shot 😢and also the surface( it's a cheap synthetic mat) of the court doesn't get along with the non marking shoes i wore… the momentt it twisted i heard a pop sound clearly💥 now I don't know what would be the resukt until i visit a doc and get scanned… i really fucked up 😂
I severely fractured my calcaneus (heel bone) and am currently 1 month post op with a titanium plate and 8 screws.
Although I knew I badly sprained my ankle after my injury, I also suspected I broke something. As such, during my initial ER visit, the first action taken was an X-ray which revealed my severely comminuted calcaneal fracture.
It’s only now in hindsight that I realize all of the focus both on the physician’s and my part went to my heel fracture and the ankle sprain was essentially completely ignored. Because I only received an X-ray and no MRI at the ER, the sprain was forgotten about upon the fracture discovery. Sounds crazy but that’s just how it went.
As I mentioned, I’m 1 month post op for the surgery to reconstruct my calcaneus but my ankle mobility is still severely limited and personally I feel like the majority of the pain I’m experiencing (even on pain medications) is a result of the sprain and not necessarily completely from my surgery recovery.
I’ve expressed my concerns with my orthopedic surgeon and I’ll be getting an MRI soon. Hopefully I won’t need another surgery…
HELP! I twisted my right ankle,when a car hit me and runaway,leaving me on the ground helples,neighbours helped me to limp back to the home,and day after i went to WRONG and BAD "fameously good ortopedic surgeon"-that did not made rtg og that injured ankle,he just wrap arround my feet-(tenosyvitis) elastic bandage,and said that i dont need to wooory abou,just not to be heavy on the right leg-ankle,for some time,that was in 2018. Saidly thad bounes have a poorly healed wound in the sense that the bones of the ankle joint are poorly fused,and now fro mtime to time,i have problem with normal WALKING,not to mension running,hiking ,of road ,climbing,skiing,,,etc…I used to be very active sportsmen,i was semi pro skiing on snow-was INSTRUCTOR of skiing,a member of MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM,and now 🙁 …. 6 orthopeds looked at myne ankle,as it is now(since 2019)-and all said the same(now it is to late to do anything-excpept maybe operatrion-they would not advise!!!?!)
What does it mean-i am 45,does that mean that i will never ever be able to get Married and folow my partner in long walks,going in the wood trails on some hollyday,climbing on some hill with her,..or show her tje place in egypt in desert,the wery tall peek ,where it is believed that moses got tablets from god….I used to travel a LOT ,but i have no wife,no children,but now there is a possibility of making one(my own family)-am i good as dead in 40 tis? I live in Serbia-Belgrade,and orthoped here say that i can not fix it any more"why it was not put in plaster to immobilize it IMMIDIATELY,where did you found that amateur "orthoped",it could be saved and healed 99%,but now it it badly healed,the bones in ankle are fused wrong,and now it is late" Is it realy not possible to operate it and put the bones back in place,please HELP me,i am thinking to end my life,beacouse that means that i can only be observer ,and not being able to participate phisicaly with my partner,wife,child,travel,,,,,this means that i am socialy dead 🙁 HELP PLEASE,sincirely………desperate man
Not sure if I should have this surgery. I was injured when kicking the ball the same time as my friend, he’s fine but I was hurt badly. Thought it was going to heal naturally so I did’t see a doctor, however 4 years later it won’t fully heal and I still have discomfort/pain especially when driving or bending my foot downward. Should I go to see a doctor and diagnose it? I’ve lost like 10-15% of my right foot balance….oh god, think about it, I should really do…
I will possibly be getting this surgery done in a month (depending on insurance). I was hoping for regional anesthetic so that I could watch but the Doc says no. It looks simpler than I thought.
Got the surgery done just a few mins back, immobilized as such.

What’s the recovery timeframe? Any physical therapy needed after?

1. Mild joint effusion noted in ankle joint.
2. Mild edema noted along posterior talo fibular ligament with surrounding fluid – possibility of sprain
likely.
3. Mild tenosynovitis noted along parioneal tendon.
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS REPORT
PLZ REPLY ..
What material is the suture made of? Is it bioabsorbable? I’m guessing it is PGA-PLA composite
I'm having this constant pain/burning sensation in my ankle 24/7 (every minute of every hour) after a sprain 8 months back. Anyone else?
Why is it anterior and not lateral?
If i will undergo this operation after few months can i practice martial arts again

do atfl grow back or reconnect when it is completely torn?
What's the healing time for this usually?
Can i play football again after this surgery!💔
I am a surgeon and have to perform this surgery later today. Thanks for posting! You saved me😅
I will possibly be getting this surgery done in a month (depending on insurance). I was hoping for regional anesthetic so that I could watch but the Doc says no. It looks simpler than I thought.
I'm having this surgery tomorrow so wish me luck 🤞
Dear Heavens above.
Do you ever just watch medical videos for fun.
Because I do.
