For an ankle that keeps rolling after repeated sprains.
Ankle Sprain and Instability Treatment
Most unstable ankles start with one bad sprain that never fully recovered. The ankle goes over again on uneven ground, stepping off a curb or changing direction, and each time it does, it becomes a little more likely to happen again. People often describe not trusting it rather than describing pain. Two things are behind it: the ligaments on the outer side have healed in a lengthened position, and the balance reflexes that keep the ankle under you have slowed. At PRIME Orthopedics & Regenerative Center, Dr. Abbasi, board certified in Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, starts with rehabilitation and performs Ligament Reconstruction when instability continues after rehabilitation.
The Rehabilitation Protocol
Ask About a ConsultationThis is the physical therapy protocol the practice gives its own patients after this operation. It is written for the period after surgery, for you and for your therapist, and your own plan is set by Dr. Abbasi at your follow-up.
Common Questions
Do I have to have surgery?
Not necessarily. Treatment begins with the most conservative appropriate option, and Dr. Abbasi recommends surgery only when he believes it is warranted.
Will Physical Therapy fix this without surgery?
For most people, yes. A program combining strengthening with balance retraining settles the majority of chronically unstable ankles, and it is where treatment starts.
What is proprioception training?
It is balance work that retrains the reflexes which keep the ankle under you. Repeated sprains blunt those signals, and rebuilding them is as important as rebuilding strength.
How long before I can play sport again?
After an operation it takes months rather than weeks, with a return to cutting and pivoting sport toward the end of the program.
Do you take insurance?
Medicare and most PPO plans are accepted for consultations and surgical care. Regenerative injections are paid for directly. Please call the office to confirm what applies to your plan.To check your plan, call (561) 465-8884, or Book an Appointment.
