When is surgery required for a torn ankle ligament?

Doctor's Answer

Here's a previous similar question on ankle sprains and treatment options that I answered.

I thought I would provide you with a little more.

In your case I would consider the following:

1. Consult a Sports/MSK physician who can assess, scan and treat your ankle appropriately

2. Consult a physiotherapist for rehabilitation

3. Consult a podiatrist for rehabilitation or consideration of orthoses

With all three, there are many options that you can consider before more surgical treatments.

Best of luck with your ankle.
