Specialist Ankle Arthroscopy & Ligament Reconstruction

2.7mm Keyhole Arthroscopy & All-Inside Ligament Repair

Dr. Deepak Garg delivers advanced specialist care for chronic ankle sprains, cartilage damage, and Achilles tendon disorders. Utilizing ultra-fine 2.7mm Keyhole Ankle Arthroscopy, autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) biological cartilage repair, and minimally invasive all-inside Broström-Gould ligament reconstruction with knotless suture anchors, loose ankle ligaments and cartilage defects of the talus are repaired with sub-millimeter precision, restoring complete joint stability and eliminating recurrent twisting injuries.

Keyhole 2.7mm Ankle Arthroscopy: Directly visualizes and repairs talar cartilage defects (OLT)
All-Inside Broström Ligament Repair: Knotless suture anchors restore lateral ankle stability without large cuts
Regenerative Achilles Protocol: Ultrasound-guided PRP and eccentric calf loading for chronic tendinopathy
Rapid Return to Sports: Supervised proprioceptive wobble-board rehabilitation restoring explosive agility

Frequently Asked Questions

Repeated ankle twisting sprains stretch and tear the lateral ligaments (ATFL and CFL), leading to chronic laxity where the ankle gives way on uneven ground. All-inside arthroscopic Broström ligament reconstruction tightens the loose ligaments using knotless anchors through tiny keyhole punctures, permanently stabilizing the joint.
