Hey, about a year ago I noticed a pain in my ankle when landing anything unhooked which got progressively worse and to cut a long story short, I have an avulsed ankle ligament.

I was wondering if anyone on here has had anything done by an orthopaedic surgeon on their ankle and could recommend a good surgeon to get the op done? Would appreciate any comments, there doesn't appear to be a huge amount of feedback for Perth orthopaedic surgeons specialising in ankles online. My doctor gave me a few recommendations but it's hard to have any confidence when he just pulled 5 names from a book without really knowing who they were.

Thanks

You could check with a couple of the good local sports physios that work with AFL teams. They usually know who gets the best results for different ortho injuries.

My GP said I should see an orthopaedic surgeon, haven't necessarily been told I need surgery yet but I have effectively snapped a ligament in my ankle so we will see. Have an appointment booked with Reza as recommended above, will probably get a second opinion from one recommended from a sports physio as Mark said just to confirm everything if I do end up being told I need surgery.
