Ultrarunner and mountain biker who experienced multiple ankle sprains before the InternalBrace procedure helped get her back on the trails.
“It was just a normal, leisurely run. Suddenly, my left ankle folded under me.” She heard a “pop” and thought she had broken her ankle. With dusk approaching and no cell service, she knew she needed to make it back to the trailhead, so she made the decision to run the 5 miles back despite her sore ankle. Bethany says this was a “big mistake. Ever since that, I really struggled to fully come back.”
Bethany met with an orthopedic surgeon, who diagnosed her with a severe ankle sprain. He initially treated her conservatively with physical therapy and bracing and asked that she decrease her weekly mileage until her ankle pain subsided.
After about 3 years of various treatments, it was clear that she was suffering from chronic ankle instability and needed another option. Bethany’s ankle surgeon spoke to her about the InternalBrace ligament augmentation procedure for acute and chronic ankle sprains. A supplement to an existing ankle repair procedure, the InternalBrace system provides additional soft tissue-to-bone fixation that supports the primary repair.
“Surgery can be scary,” Bethany says, but she wants people to know they can avoid the frustration and get back on their feet faster with the InternalBrace procedure. “I’ve had two friends in the last month do the same procedure and they’re recovering beautifully.”
