A member asked:
My 12 year old daughter sprained her ankle almost a week ago it is a grade 1 sprain she is wearing a brace when will the sprain get fully healed?

Ankle Recovery: Grade 1 sprains have a fantastic recovery outcome. In short, the ligament or ligaments that are injured and 'attenuated' or partially torn, but still attached. This is good news (especially with a 12 year old) due to the fact that the scarring will contract and strengthen the ligament around 3 weeks. Physical therapy and an additional 3 weeks and the patient is ready to engage in activities.
