Frequently Asked Questions

When can I return to sports after the Broström procedure?

Athletes typically resume full sports participation 4-6 months after the Broström procedure, following completion of structured rehabilitation and clearance testing. The timeline depends on the specific demands of your sport and your body’s healing response.

Does the Broström procedure guarantee no more ankle sprains?

The Broström procedure dramatically improves stability and significantly reduces the risk of sprain, although maintaining strength and proper mechanics helps ensure lasting protection. Most patients experience remarkable improvement in the reliability of their ankles during sports and daily activities.

Will the Broström procedure affect my range of motion?

Most patients regain full motion after the Broström procedure, with many experiencing improved flexibility compared to before surgery, thanks to reduced pain and increased confidence. The procedure preserves natural joint mechanics while eliminating instability.

What if I wait to have the Broström procedure?

Delaying surgery allows continued joint damage and cartilage wear, potentially leading to ankle arthritis and more complex future procedures. Each additional sprain can worsen ligament quality and compromise eventual surgical success.

How long does the Broström procedure take?

The Broström procedure typically lasts 60-90 minutes as an outpatient surgery, allowing same-day return home with a responsible adult. Your surgeon may also address any cartilage damage discovered during the procedure. The surgery uses regional anesthesia with sedation for your comfort.

What is the success rate for the Broström procedure?

The Broström procedure shows excellent long-term results, with over 85% of patients reporting complete satisfaction and successful return to desired activities. Studies demonstrate these positive outcomes remain stable for many years.
