A member asked:
I twisted my ankle and chipped the bone, most of the swelling has gone but my inside ankle bone is very tender. how long should i stay off sport?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Torn ligaments too??: A chip of bone in an ankle is often a sign that a ligament is injured too as that chip can be broken off when the ligament is over stretched from a sprain injury. Also, on the inside of the ankle is a major tendon that can be torn. Ankle supports, physical therapy may be needed as well as an MRI. A patient can take 4 to 12 weeks to return to exercise activities.
