When the ankle ligaments tear, this often happens during sports, but it can also occur during daily activities. When the tension on the soft tissues becomes too great, such as after a misstep or trauma, the structures on the sides of the ankle can be overstretched. This may result in partial or complete tearing of the ankle ligaments.
An ankle brace offers support to aid the healing process of your ankle.

The ankle is made up of three bones: the fibula, tibia and talus. The tibia and fibula together form the ankle mortise. The talus sits between these bones and forms the upper ankle joint. The two protruding bone parts of the ankle mortise are called the malleoli. The ankle ligaments run over these malleoli. These ligaments are strong, firm connective-tissue bands surrounding the ankle.
A torn ankle ligament occurs when the foot tilts beyond its normal range. This often causes intense pain and a noticeable egg-shaped swelling on the outside of the ankle.
When the ankle makes an unexpected movement and tilts further than its maximum range, the ligaments are overstretched. If the tension becomes too great, the ligaments can tear.
Torn ankle ligaments may occur in various situations: stepping off a curb, landing incorrectly from a jump, twisting the ankle in a hole, or making a misstep during daily activities.
Cool the ankle with ice but note: icing is only effective within the first 30 minutes after the injury occurs.
Afterward, the priority is reducing pain and swelling to minimize intra-articular pressure. This can be done by elevating the foot and giving the ankle rest. In the first days, you will likely need to use crutches to avoid putting weight on the joint.
A few days later, the swelling will start to decrease. As the swelling reduces, the ankle must gradually begin to recover. Full recovery may take 4–7 weeks. During this period, using an ankle brace can provide support. Braces and ankle supports help stabilize the joint throughout the healing process.
How do you know if you have torn ankle ligaments? +
You usually notice severe pain, swelling, and often an egg-shaped bump on the outside of the ankle immediately after the trauma. It is often difficult or impossible to stand or walk on the foot. A doctor can determine whether your ankle ligaments are torn through a physical examination and, if necessary, an X-ray.
Is it safe to drive with torn ankle ligaments? +
It is not recommended to drive with torn ankle ligaments, especially in the first few weeks after the injury. Your ankle is unstable, and applying force to the pedal can be painful or even dangerous. Always consult your doctor or physiotherapist about when it is safe to drive again.
How long does rehabilitation take for torn ankle ligaments? +
Rehabilitation for torn ankle ligaments usually takes 4 to 7 weeks, depending on the severity of the injury. During this period, you often wear an ankle brace and gradually resume weight-bearing and movement. Full recovery may sometimes take longer, especially in severe tears.
Can you walk with torn ankle ligaments? +
Immediately after tearing the ankle ligaments, walking is usually very painful or even impossible. In the first days, you will need to offload the ankle, for example with crutches. As recovery progresses and with a proper ankle brace, you can gradually start walking again.
