In cases of severe injury and sportmen, surgery is recommended. the link below shows pictures of a ankle surgery (cadaver tendon used to replace the torn ligament)

The complications which may occur after a ligament reconstruction operation include:
· pain in the ankle, either because of damage at the time of the original injury or
because the ankle is now tighter than before
· numbness or tingling down the side of the foot due to stretching of one of the
nerves either at the time of the original injury or the operation
· persistent swelling of the ankle
· Stiffness of the ankle, restricting the range of movement
· In 5 to 10% of people the surgery does not work, and the ankle remains
unstable

Remember - Surgery related infections are always a risk!
