Hi. 

I am having my second ankle ligament reconstruction op soon.  I am also having an Arthrex internal brace fitted.  Has anyone any experience of these?

    I'm sorry you need to have an additional surgery. I have not had an internal brace inserted myself but I'm curious about this. I've personally had a peroneal tendon repair, an ankle ligament reconstruction and was just told I need a 3rd surgery. Something about peek a boo heels and the previous surgeries failing. I'd love to know your experience with this. Good luck and take care. Jen
