Torn deltoid ligament & bone bruise on ankle. when can i start playing sports again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on severity: This depends on the severity of injury. If you have a total tear of your deltoid ligament with associated ankle instability you may need surgery and/or an extended period of time immobilized in a cast. If it is only a partial tear you may be able to get back to athletics sooner.
