Are you suffering from chronic pain after having an ankle sprain? Do your ankles give way when you walk on uneven roads? You might be suffering from ankle impingement or even an ankle ligament tear called the Anterior Talo-Fibular Ligament (ATFL).

Keyhole surgery could be an option for you if the pain does not go away with months of analgesia, wearing brace, physiotherapy, and even ankle injections given by your doctor. It involves removing the tissues or scars that are blocking the ankle and causing the pain.

On the other hand, ATFL surgery is the repair of the ligaments on the lateral or outside of the ankle that are excessively loose following recurrent ankle sprains. The surgery is designed to address ankle instability by repairing or tightening the anterior talofibular ligament.
