Ligament Sprain: Rehab of a ligament sprain depends on which ligament/ligaments are involved and to what extent they are sprained. For complete tears of the ligament rest and immobilization may be the initial treatment for up to 6 weeks depending of the ligament injured. May also require surgery to expect return to previous activity maintaining knee stability.
