I recently had three MRI S to my left ankle. They show a small tear to the deltoid ligament. My doctor has suggested surgery to repair the damage. I am a distance runner and was wondering if there was other treatment I should do before going through the surgery. Thank You.
Hello, Thanks for writing to us, I have studied your case with diligence. Till time, you can continue use of ankle supportive splint or brace. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing. If there is complete ligament tear on then arthroscopic ankle ligament repair can be done. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
