Surgery for a "sprain?" Edit: Just read about tight rope surgery. Had never heard of it.

It has to do with the joint where your fibula and tibia come together. They basically install a wire (hence “tight rope”) to keep the bones together at that point. The official name for the joint is syndesmosis (if you desire to look it up).

Syndesmosis can be sprained and it’s typically a high ankle sprain when it’s involved.
