My 12 yo autistic daughter is a gymnast. About 4 weeks ago she rolled her right ankle. She recovered quickly, her bruising lasted about 2 days and she said it didn't hurt. So she went back to training. Tuesday night she landed on it badly and rolled it again. The ultrasound has come back with a complete ATF tear and 2 partial tears of 2 other ligaments. I am on a pension and the orthopaedic specialist has given us an 18 month wait time to see her at best.
Can a complete tear of a ligament heal without surgery? Will she be able to do gymnastics again?
