The acute phase of a ligament injury usually takes 6-8 weeks to recover. The acute phase of the ligament can be characterized by swelling, pain, and limited movement. Swelling can be reduced by using cold compresses for 48-72 hours of the initial injury. After 72 hours, hot towels are used to promote the absorption of the surrounding tissue hematoma. If pain is significant, it can be treated with topical fotarine ointment or diclofenac sodium extended-release tablets. Restricted movement requires protection with a brace, which is usually immobilized for 6-8 weeks. Gradually start to release the brace to increase the activity, it will recover faster and usually there will be no sequelae.
