What is Ankle Ligament Injury?
Ankle ligament injury is one of the most common sports injuries. In Europe, approximately 27 000 cases occur daily. Up to 30% of patients develop chronic ankle instability — recurrent subluxations, pain, and swelling.
The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is most commonly injured in inversion injuries (foot rolling inward).
Degrees of injury:
- Grade I — sprain (microtears of fibers), minimal swelling
- Grade II — partial ligament tear, moderate swelling and hematoma
- Grade III — complete ligament tear, significant instability
Why complete regeneration is important:
- Incomplete healing → chronic instability (30%)
- Recurrent subluxations → cartilage damage
- Chronic instability → ankle osteoarthritis
Facts
- ICD-10: S93.4
- Frequency: 27 000/day in Europe
- Chronic instability: up to 30%
- Ligament: ATFL most common
- Complication: ankle osteoarthritis
How MIBRAR® treats ligament injuries
Ultrasound diagnostics
Sono Control Arm™ assesses ligament integrity (ATFL, CFL, PTFL), presence of tears, degree of instability — dynamically during stress tests.
Obtaining concentrates
CGF — connective tissue growth factors for collagenogenesis. Lipogems® — stem cells differentiating into fibrocytes for ligament regeneration.
Injection into the injury site
Under ultrasound guidance, concentrates are injected directly to the damaged ligaments — precisely into the tear zone. In chronic instability — into stretched ligaments.
Ligament regeneration
Stem cells synthesize collagen and restore ligament strength. Result — stable ankle, reduced risk of re-injury, and prevention of osteoarthritis.
