Recurring Ankle Sprains?
You’re Not Alone.
Weak, unstable ankles and recurring ankle sprains can create frustrating limitations to activities and daily life. The InternalBrace procedure is helping people with chronic ankle instability get back on their feet and back in action.
Benefits of the InternalBrace procedure include:
Faster return to activity1,2
Reduced chance of another ankle sprain while you heal1,3
Appropriate for people who have already had ankle surgery
Performed in an outpatient setting through a small incision
Why Do I Keep Rolling My Ankle?
Repeated ankle sprains are both a symptom and a cause of a weak and unstable ankle. Each time you twist or roll your ankle, the ligaments on the outside of your ankle can stretch or tear, creating a perpetual cycle of recurring injuries and ankle pain.
Chronic ankle instability occurs when the damaged ligaments fail to heal properly. The loose ligaments cannot protect your ankle from rolling outwardly. Symptoms of chronic ankle instability include:
Your ankle “gives way” when walking on uneven surfaces
Pain or tenderness in your ankle
Chronic ankle swelling
Feeling unstable or wobbly
Repetitive ankle sprains
Ankle Sprains by the Numbers
Ankle sprains are incredibly common injuries that can be caused by trips and falls, landing awkwardly after a jump, pivoting wrong, and other motions.
Ankle sprains are the most common sports injury with an estimated 2+ million sprains occurring annually in the United States5
1 in 5 people who suffer an ankle sprain report having long-term ankle problems6; the rate is even higher, 1 in 3, for athletic populations7
Up to 70% of people with an ankle sprain will suffer another sprain in the future8,9
What Surgeons Say About the InternalBrace Procedure
Surgeons who perform the InternalBrace procedure share how it has benefited their patients.
"If conservative treatments have failed to provide a solution to your chronic ankle pain and/or instability, it may be time to consider surgery."

InternalBrace Repair: A Seat Belt for the Ankle
Similar to how a seat belt acts in a car accident, surgical repair with InternalBrace ligament augmentation secures your ligaments to the bone and helps limit excess range of motion during the healing phase, which may reduce your chances of experiencing another sprain while your ankle ligaments regain strength.1,3
