Baller MrJones Posted April 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 25, 2012 Well, the deltoid ligamant is very tough and does usually tear off a piece of the medial malleolus before it actually gives way. (Not sure about the fibula comment.) It does tear though and I think you will need to get it repaired. I would talk to some athletic trainers and PTs in your area who see a lot of athletes. Ask them who the main foot and ankle ortho is in the area. They will likely see patients from a lot of Docs and can give you some good suggestions.

Baller ForrestGump Posted April 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 25, 2012 I know two people who have torn their deltoid ligament. Both had to have surgery to repair. I assume it was a partial tear and not a complete rupture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MattP Posted April 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 25, 2012 Can someone dig up that video of @shaneh telling one of his hot chick stories from last year. Good laughs were had by all. @smitty just get it checked by someone creditable. If they are not sure what to do well that would not be reassuring to me.

Baller bkreis Posted April 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 25, 2012 I spraIned mine some time ago. It took a solid year of strengthening before any normal stability was evident. Arch is now perfect again. It is what got me into jäger/fluid motion hard shells in 2003ish, and away from animals. Now I ride reflex front and remi style rear boot.

Baller 6balls Posted April 25, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 25, 2012 Deltoid ligament is medial and attached to tibia, not fibula. Having said that, if deltoid is torn that would result from a rotation causing significant medial displacement of the superior talus toward the tibia and lateral displacement of the inferior talus toward the fibula, which certainly could create a fibular fracture. Can also fracture tibia, or both tib and fib (bi-maleolar), and or/talar dome. It sounds like no fracture here for @smitty. Agree with @Mr. Jones...insist on a foot and ankle orthopedist (special branch of orthopedics). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
