Return to play for lateral ankle ligament injuries
- grade 1 (stretch)= ~ 10-14days
- grade 2 (partial tear) = ~ 2- 4 weeks
- grade 3 (complete tear) = > 6wks
These are ball park figures. The lateral ankle ligament is actually a ‘complex’ of 3 ligaments (ATFL - most common injury, CFL - 2nd...
Don’t claim to be an ‘expert’ but being an A&E Registrar (with a degree in Sports Medicine) the experts can speculate all they want, but without examining him & seeing his scan results, it’s impossible to guess time frames on his return to play...
The fact he didn’t go off on a stretcher isn’t...
Issue being that high grade hamstring tears (whether repaired surgically or managed conservatively) invariably lead to recurrent hamstring injuries further down the track...
A bit like VDV...
If it GENUINELY is a Grade 3 tear, 6 weeks is the absolute minimum I'd expect for a return to play.
Players with a history of hamstring injuries, like previous ACL reconstructions make me apprehensive...
Is difficult to say, but to perform what sounds like an arthroscopic repair (key hole surgery) in his hip it must've been something quite serious & I imagine the prolonged lay off would point towards a 'soft tissue' issue rather than a fracture. So this is purely guess work...

Been posting in the Juve match day thread about Trippers ankle injury...
As an Emergency Dept doctor with another degree in Sports Medicine, I'd be happy to answer any questions people might have about players injuries or sports medicine issues in general...

More than welcome buddy...
As I say, if anyone has questions surrounding players injuries or anything related to medicine in the sporting world, I'd try my best to answer any questions.
Would be willing to start a thread if people would be interested in that?
I have seen them on sale & advertised on our equivalent of QVC, but I have never seen them used in practice anywhere
The evidence for their use in anything other than lymphoedema is limited as far as I'm aware, & even then the trials are small in numbers.
If we are talking about ankle...
Ankle sprains are graded/classified (I-III) by the severity of the underlying ligament damage (ranging from nil injury to full rupture), degree of swelling/bruising & pain on weight bearing...
Generally ankle sprains will be treated with conservative management (protective...
Torn/rupture in terms of an ACL in professional athlete makes little difference as ultimately the treatment is an arthroscopic reconstruction in which they use an autograft (i.e. coming from your own body) to replace the damaged ligaments. Generally they take the autografts from one of your...
I've never read Ashton write a positive piece about AVB
I'm sure his vendeta towards him came about after AVB owned him in a press conference last year in front of all his media buddies?!
Can anyone recall what that was in regards to?! (& if it was actually Ashton?)
