Ligaments injury in leg

Ligaments get badly injured of left leg due to accident (auto rickshaw topples). 10 stitches(internal and external) come. Can you suggest after how much time external stitch is to be removed? Total after how much time I'll be able to walk and run.

Usually after 2 weeks, stitches should be removed.There is also associated skin abrasion. You will be able to walk freely after 2-3 weeks if there is no major internal injury.

Stitches would need about 10 days to heal fully. However any Infections could delay wound healing. Take care of the wound , eat the proper Medicines. Do show to the doctor before getting stitches removed. Also give me more details about the ligaments injured, so that I give you the exact time frame for your healing
