A member asked:
I wanted to know when you rupture a ligament does it bruise up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bruises may be seen: When a ligament is torn, there is usually a small amount of bleeding. It may take several days for this blood to move toward the skin. If it does, a bruise may be seen in the area, usually a few days after the injury.
