Serious sprain: Syndesmosis injuries occur when there is a disruption of the distal attachment of the tibia and fibula. These injuries occur commonly (up to 18% of ankle sprains) and would cause pain at the vicinity of the talus and can take 6-8 weeks to heal but may be chronic. If you have severe pain, an orthopedic consultation is recommended. Occasionally surgery is recommended.

I was in a car accident on Dec 2. My leg was black and blue below the knee on the side. x ray showed no broken bones. Today it is still very swollen and red and feels warm to the touch. Could a torn ligament cause this?
