Splinting first: Initially it is splinted, to allow healing of the injured stuctures, followed by motion, to prevent stiffness.

Varies: It varies based upon the extent of the injury. Mild injuries may need no treatment at all. Severe hyper extension injuries can cause fractures and ligament tears that can even require surgery.
