Each of the Following Is True About Surgical Repair/reconstruction of the Lateral

Each of the following is true about surgical repair/reconstruction of the lateral ligament complex of the ankle and postoperative management except:

A) The most common procedure is a direct repair and imbrication of the torn ligaments through an open surgical approach.
B) After reconstruction of the lateral ligaments that includes a tendon autograft and tendon transposition (often the peroneus brevis tendon) to reinforce the lateral aspect of the ankle, there may be some permanent loss of full ankle inversion postoperatively.
C) The ankle is immobilized in plantarflexion and slight eversion for 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively; therefore, the patient must remain nonweight bearing on the operated lower extremity during the period of immobilization to prevent rupture of the repair site.
D) It is usually permissible to remove the ankle immobilizer by about 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively to begin active ROM exercises of the ankle.
