Ligamentotomy at the "Helуos" Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

What is ligamentotomy?

Ligamentotomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting or dissection of ligaments to correct various pathologies, such as joint immobility, injuries, or deformities. This procedure is commonly used in orthopedic and trauma practice to alleviate pain and improve joint function.

When should you see a doctor?

Ligamentotomy may be recommended in the following cases:

Limited joint mobility due to stiffness or contractures.
Injuries where ligaments are overly tight or shortened.
Pain caused by improper ligament length or dysfunction.
Disruption of normal joint biomechanics due to ligament abnormalities.

How does the surgery work?

Consultation and Diagnosis — The doctor conducts a full examination and analysis of symptoms to determine the need for ligamentotomy. Additional tests, such as X-rays or MRIs, may be prescribed.
Surgery — During ligamentotomy, the surgeon makes an incision in the affected ligament area and carefully cuts or modifies its structure. The surgery can be performed using traditional open surgery or through arthroscopy (a minimally invasive method).
Rehabilitation — Post-surgery, it is essential to undergo a rehabilitation period to restore joint function and strengthen the surrounding muscles. Recovery may take several weeks or months depending on the complexity of the surgery.

Advantages of Ligamentotomy:

Restoration of joint mobility — Ligamentotomy helps restore normal range of motion in the joint.
Pain relief — The surgery reduces pain associated with immobility and ligament issues.
Minimal risks — Modern surgical methods have a low risk of complications.
