What is ligament reconstruction surgery?

Ligament surgery: A ligament holds bone to bone. If it is sufficiently injured you may get an unstable joint. Ligament reconstruction usually involves taking your open tendon or a cadaver tendon to replace the ligament.

See a Hand Surgeon: A ligament tear can be partial or complete. A full ligament tear can occur within the substance of the ligament a ligament can get avulsed from its attachment to bone or avulse a fragment of bone with it when the injury occurs. The full ligament/avulsion fracture injury requires a different surgical procedure. See a hand surgeon so that s/he can assess and discuss what is appropriate for you.
