A member asked:
What do doctors do for a 5 month old anterior talofibular ligament injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hmmm: Assuming still painful we would do additional studies and examination to figure out why. Most should have resolved. Possible scar tissue, instability, bone bruise, stress fx, loose body, or cartilage injury.
