A member asked:
How would you grade an ankle sprain with a ruptured atfl, high-grade partial tear of the deltoid ligament without disruption?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Severe: Severe in the sense that in order to disrupt both the main lateral ankle ligament (atfl) and injure the deltoid means that you almost completely dislocated your ankle.

Sprain: In layman's terms this would be called bad. Definitely see your podiatrist or orthopedist for help with this.
