In most of the cases ATFL heals well if managed properly, even if it’s neglected it will heal. Get an x ray ankle (side) done. Any signs of infection should be ruled out. Any other symptoms like stiffness of fingers. RA Factor, Anti CCP. CRP
ATFL injury should be treated with utmost care at the earliest.
Delay in treatment would lead to improper healing of ligament and instability later on with activities involving stress on ankle..
This can be resolved with a repair or reconstruction.
