How long does recovery from ankle reconstruction usually take?
Recovery depends on the type of reconstruction performed and your overall health. Many patients gradually resume normal activities over several months while following a structured rehabilitation program.
Will I need physical therapy after ankle reconstruction?
Yes. Physical therapy is commonly recommended to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and ankle function after surgery. Your treatment plan will be customized to your recovery progress.
What conditions can ankle reconstruction treat?
Ankle reconstruction may help patients with chronic ligament injuries, severe instability, arthritis-related deformities, tendon damage, or improperly healed fractures.
How do I prepare for ankle reconstruction surgery?
Preparation often includes a medical evaluation, medication review, transportation arrangements, and planning for temporary mobility limitations at home during recovery.
