Mr. Cook had a history of ankle sprains. An arthroscopic examination is common for this type of patient to repair internal cartilage damage. The cartilage damage (common with sprains) causes pain inside of the ankle with activity which then tells the body to shut down the leg muscles, thus the ankle "giving out" more frequently. With the addition of a torn ligament found on MRI, he had the choice to have it repaired at the same time as the arthroscopic examination or at a later time. Mr. Cook describes his experience!
