They’ll likely require a cast or a splint, so you’re not moving the ligaments around while the tears in them heal up. These can take eight weeks to heal up fully, and it’s a good idea not to rush that process. Being in a hurry could re-injure the ligament, and that might mean even longer to heal up.
Signs of a Torn Ligament in the Ankle
Treatment
The two cruciate ligaments are located inside the knee joint while the collateral ligaments are on the outside. If one of the collateral ligaments on the outside of the knee is injured, it may heal on its own. In most cases, these ligaments do not require special treatment.

An MCL sprain occurs when there is a direct force applied to the outside of the knee, pushing the knee inward. MCL sprains may also occur when a person sustains an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear. There are 3 grades of sprains.
What is an MCL (medial collateral ligament) tear? An MCL tear is damage to the medial collateral ligament, which is a major ligament that's located on the inner side of your knee. The tear can be partial (some fibers in the ligament are torn) or complete (the ligament is torn into two pieces).
Most people who tear their MCL feel pain and a "pop" in their knee when the injury happens. Their knee usually swells soon after the injury, most of the time around the inside part of the knee.
