Lateral Ankle Ligament Reconstruction -- Recovery stories?

Last week, I had my ATFL and CFL reconstructed with suture anchors (in addition to a scope and neuroma removal). If everything goes to plan, I will be swimming and cycling early may. Has anyone gone through this procedure? What was your experience like?

3 years ago had same procured. I bet your back before that. My doc and pt were aggressive but good results. My biggest problem was pf it is after I got out of the walking boot.

Follow docks advice you’ll be back fast.

thanks mate. out of curiosity, how long till you could start swimming laps? looking forward to getting moving again.

I was jogging in 6 wks.( With a brace) Swimming in 4. BUT FOLLOW YOUR DOCTOR’S ADVISE!!!
Everybody is different. My opinion your doctor is being conservative but I’m sure there’s a reason. I obviously don’t have any off the details of your injury nor any medical training. For me this was not a bad procedure.

If I were you when you get your sutures removed I would ask about starting to walk in a pool and swimming with a pull boy
