A member asked:
How long will i be out of sports with either a grade 2 or 3 ankle sprain and two nondisplaced fibula fractures (i hurt my ankle 4wks ago; i'm 17 yrs)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimally 12 weeks: Without a complete history of your injury and sports activity, the non-displaced fractures will take a minimum of 6-8 weeks to heal (assuming there are no complications in healing) and in general soft tissue injuries such as the an ankle sprain will be longer about 12 weeks (= 3 months). Again, that is assuming that you are compliant with treatment regimen prescribed by your doctor.
