I guess there is no ligament damage. Great News!

I’m amazed you can dislocate an ankle with no ligament damage. I’m happy it’s not as bad as I thought

What is a dislocated ankle?

In order for the ankle joint to dislocate, all ligaments on one side must rupture. This most regularly happens on the outside of the ankle, where there are three ligaments. One or two of these are commonly injured during an ankle sprain. A dislocated ankle can be a posterior, anterior or superior dislocation.

By definition there is significant ligament rupture.

I’ve never heard of a dislocated ankle ending anyone’s career, even a RB.

Geaux Guy•12 months

Man, I’ve dislocated shoulders and fingers. The recovery has been quite different with each. Hoping for a quick recovery.

GB1017LSU•12 months

That was tough to watch. Hope he recovers and gets back.

Normally, walking on it in 6 weeks and running in 12 weeks.

Geaux62•12 months

Had the same thing plus a broken tibia. I was healed faster than that. He's lucky this is all it was. So are we!

LSUMBAgrad•12 months

One tough Tiger! Speedy recovery and healing we need you back this fall!

Jdublsu•12 months

cwil177•12 months

You pretty much have to fracture something to dislocate the ankle

DeafVallyBatnR•12 months

I went sideways heard my ankle pop 2 time s going down and coming back straight. Limped a few days put my boots on and it took a year without doctor treatment to be normal again.
