CFL Reconstruction
Ankle instability is treated with a specialist surgical method called CFL (Calcaneofibular Ligament) Reconstruction. The injured ligament, which is essential for supporting the ankle joint, is repaired or rebuilt using this minimally invasive approach. Surgeons with modern arthroscopic techniques enhance accuracy and hasten recuperation. For people who have persistent ankle instability or who frequently injure their ankles, CFL reconstruction is crucial. Patients can resume an active, pain-free lifestyle after completing a customized rehabilitation program that helps them rebuild strength and stability in their ankle. Trust in our knowledge for thorough CFL Reconstruction care that gives you the best chance for a quick and complete recovery.

CFL Reconstruction FAQ's
The Calcaneofibular Ligament (CFL) is one of the ligaments in the ankle joint. It provides lateral stability to the ankle by connecting the fibula to the calcaneus (heel bone). It helps prevent excessive inversion (rolling outward) of the foot.
During CFL reconstruction, a surgeon typically uses a graft (usually from a tendon or a synthetic material) to replace the damaged or torn ligament. The procedure can be done arthroscopically, which is minimally invasive, or through open surgery.
Recovery time varies depending on the individual and the specific surgical technique used. Patients often need to wear a protective boot or cast for a few weeks and may require physical therapy to regain strength and mobility.
CFL reconstruction is considered a significant surgical procedure, but it is typically less invasive than traditional open surgery. It involves smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, and a potentially quicker recovery.
