The ankle is a critical joint that bears your entire body weight and allows smooth motion for walking, running, and standing. Any injury or degenerative condition affecting the ankle can disrupt your mobility and cause significant pain. At our orthopedic center in Bangalore, Dr. Prasanna Kumar G S offers advanced ankle surgery and treatment options to help patients recover from trauma, arthritis, sports injuries, and chronic instability.

We specialize in both conservative and surgical management of ankle problems. From ligament repair to ankle arthroscopy, and complex reconstructions or fusion, our treatments aim to relieve pain, improve joint alignment, and restore full range of motion—so you can return to your active lifestyle with confidence.

Some Common Questions

Have questions you want answers to?

Ankle conditions requiring surgery include complex fractures, chronic ligament instability (recurrent sprains), osteochondral defects (cartilage damage), ankle arthritis, Achilles tendon ruptures, impingement syndromes, and peroneal tendon tears. Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur evaluates each condition with imaging before recommending surgical management.

Ankle arthroscopy uses a tiny camera inserted into the joint through small incisions to diagnose and treat conditions like cartilage damage, bone spurs, synovitis, and impingement. It is a minimally invasive procedure offering less post-operative pain, faster recovery, and smaller scars compared to open surgery.

Chronic ankle instability caused by recurrent sprains is treated with ligament reconstruction — either repairing the stretched native ligaments (Broström procedure) or reconstructing with a graft. Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur performs both techniques, selecting the approach based on instability severity and activity level.

Total ankle replacement (arthroplasty) replaces damaged ankle joint surfaces with prosthetic metal and polyethylene components. It is an option for end-stage ankle arthritis in patients who want to preserve joint motion. Dr. Prasanna offers this procedure as an alternative to ankle fusion in appropriate patients.

Recovery depends on the procedure. Arthroscopic procedures allow return to walking within 2–4 weeks. Fracture fixation requires 6–8 weeks of protected weight-bearing. Ligament reconstruction and total ankle replacement involve 3–6 months of gradual return to activity with physiotherapy.

Not all fractures require surgery. Displaced or unstable ankle fractures need surgical fixation with plates and screws to ensure proper alignment and healing. Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur assesses each fracture's pattern and stability to determine whether surgical or conservative management is appropriate.

Early and moderate ankle arthritis can be managed with physiotherapy, bracing, injections, and arthroscopic debridement. End-stage arthritis typically requires ankle replacement or fusion. Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur evaluates the stage of arthritis and tailors the most suitable treatment plan for each patient.

The Broström procedure is a surgical technique that tightens and repairs the stretched lateral ankle ligaments (ATFL and CFL) using suture anchors, restoring natural ligament anatomy and ankle stability. It is the gold standard treatment for chronic lateral ankle instability and is performed by Dr. Prasanna in Yeshwanthpur.
