A torn ankle ligament usually recovers in about 3 months. The exact recovery time is patient-specific and cannot be generalized. In the case of a mild ankle tear, it can usually be treated conservatively with external immobilization in a cast, and recovery time is usually around 3 months. If a complete tear of the ankle ligament occurs, surgical repair is usually required. After surgery, the ankle ligament is immobilized with a brace for a period of time, and usually heals in about 3 months, and should be actively cooperated with the rehabilitation training. If there are obvious discomfort symptoms such as ankle pain, you should go to the hospital in time for X-ray examination to clarify the severity of the injury and choose the appropriate treatment.
