How long should it take for "stretched tendons" in the front of an ankle to heal?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Stretched tendons: If by stretched tendons, you mean ligament laxity.This is commonly seen as a result of an ankle sprain. The normal treatment regimen for an ankle sprain, without ligament tear is three weeks of immobilization.
