Recovery from ligament rupture at the ankle takes about 3 months. Ligament ruptures are caused by passive pulling of the ligaments due to movements beyond the physiologic range of motion of the joint during activities, and are often accompanied by injuries and fractures. Ligament rupture is a soft tissue injury. Depending on the healing cycle of the ligament, recovery usually takes 3 to 4 weeks, but full recovery takes about 3 months. The exact recovery time is also related to the extent of the ligament rupture and the patient’s physical condition. Those with better physical function and less severe injuries recover faster; those with poorer physical function and more severe injuries recover slower. In the event of an ankle ligament rupture, it is important to go to the hospital at the first opportunity and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
