hi
Usual treatment after acute ankle injury is elevation of feet,ankle brace support,anti-inflammatory medicines and serratiopeptidase tablets-the immobilization for 2-3 weeks.MRI is done and complete tear of fib-talar ligament some surgeons prefer to repair.Partial sprains are treated coservatively as above avoiding all movements of ankle for 2-3weeks and avoiding weight bearing also.
Some orthopedicians prefer to give a plaster cast with foot in slight everted and mild plantar flex position to keep the ligaments from tension
The complete evaluation may be doneby a orthopedic doctor in your area.
