ATFL SPRAIN or tear heal well with cast but the cast should be worn for 4-5 weeks. Following cast removal you need to start Physiotherapy in a staged manner to achieve fitness and stability in your ankle before you go back to sports..

Based on the information you have provided, it appears that you have an AITFL tear and a subchondral cyst in the Talar dome. The anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL) is a ligament that connects the tibia and the fibula bones in the lower leg. A tear in this ligament can occur due to an injury or trauma, such as a twisted ankle. A subchondral cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops in the bone just beneath the cartilage. Treatment for an AITFL tear typically involves immobilization of the ankle with a cast or brace, followed by physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the ankle joint. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair or reconstruct the torn ligament. Treatment for a subchondral cyst depends on the size and location of the cyst, as well as the severity of the symptoms. In some cases, rest and activity modification may be sufficient to allow the cyst to heal on its own. In more severe cases, medication, injections, or surgery may be necessary to relieve symptoms and prevent further damage. It is recommended that you follow up with your doctor and/or orthopedic specialist to discuss the MRI findings and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific case. Your doctor may recommend further imaging or additional tests to better understand the extent of your injury and plan your treatment accordingly. Additionally, your physiotherapist may be able to provide guidance on exercises and physical therapy to help manage your symptoms and support your recovery
