Ankle Ligament Injury Repaired for Tennis Player w/ Stone-Modified Brostrom Procedure

21-year-old Alena Pruett is a college tennis player who “can’t live without tennis.” Last year, she made nationals for college tournaments but had trouble pushing off her right ankle. For five months, Alena woke up with stiffness and dealt with catching and pinching when playing tennis, impeding her ability to compete at peak performance.
After months of living with pain, Alena sought treatment for her injury from multiple doctors. Neither cortisone injections nor a boot for a fractured foot resolved the pain and weakness that she was experiencing in her ankle. Alena and her mom knew there had to be a better solution. She came to Dr. Stone who diagnosed the problem as an ankle ligament issue. Undergoing a Stone-modified ligament repair, this specialized procedure successfully restored the ankle stability crucial for tennis players. Five months post-surgery, Alena is now mobile and pain-free.
