Arthroscopic repair

Groundbreaking, advanced, modern, state-of-the-art surgery to repair ankle ligaments.

The newest state-of-the-art surgical techniques have been developed to repair damaged ligaments and related injuries.  

In the past surgeons would perform surgery for ligament repair through a long cut and following the classic open surgery (Brostrom technique). Most surgeons have continued to use this technique to date. 

Significant advances have disrupted the field of ankle instability through minimally invasive repair surgery. Pioneer surgeons in the USA (Dr Peter Mangone - Dr Jorge Acevedo with the “ArthroBrostrom”) and Spain (Dr Jordi Vega with the “All-inside arthroscopy”) developed modern techniques to perform the same repair through keyhole surgery, using a small camera and instruments the size of a pencil (4mm). The advantages of these techniques are numerous for the patient. Faster recovery, less pain, quicker return to sports and fewer complications. As such, these techniques will soon become widespread and established as the only option for the future.

Mr Malagelada has worked closely with Dr Vega in his team since the early 2000s. As a true pioneer Dr Vega used his expertise in general arthroscopy to focus on the field of foot and ankle where these techniques were not as advanced as in the knee or shoulder joints. Since then with Mr Malagelada they have produced and contributed to 35 scientific papers to present their findings and popularise these techniques throughout the world.
