Bria - Ligament Tear

One thing was clear, however, she was in flats and not heels on camera during the game. They were the dance style flats that have become popular among some young women currently.

Ankle sprains are ligament tears of some degree. Athletes have been spraining ankles since the beginning of time. How many times have you heard about an athlete having surgery for an ankle sprain. Statements about surgery by posters who are not doctors, have not seen the MRI results and no idea of Bria's condition other than what they read in a blog seems silly.

Silly...lol. You know that is not what you were thinking.

Here are a few that I'm sure would be more accurate.

idiotic, simple, foolish, mindless, thick, stupid, daft,dumb, gormless, brainless, cretinous, unintelligent, dimwitted, asinine, imbecilic, braindead, dumb-ass, doltish, Boeotian, muttonheaded.

what about "typical", "par for the course"

One bit of information I would like to know is besides this year and last year and previously, " How many times has Bria sprained her ankle?" We may already be facing a chronic situation. It may heal and still could require surgery as a fix because the small tears have led to stretching of the ligaments.

You're correct. I was trying not to be too harsh.

Hey folks:
I contacted a good friend of mine who is one of the leading neuro-osteopedic surgeons here in Connecticut and I shared this thread with him and asked him to weigh in...below you will see his response... I hope this helps

A sprain is a ligament injury of varying degrees. Ligaments are flexible but inelastic structures that hold joints together and limit the degree of movement thus preventing dislocation.. When a joint is forced beyond its limited range, the ligaments are stretched more than their limit, and a tear results. This can be a minor microscopic tear or a a complete tear. The great majority of sprains heal uneventfully. Depending on the severity of the tear, there can be some elongation of the tendon which leaves the joint a little loose. That is why after the first ankle sprain, it is easier to sprain it again. Primary surgical repair of an ankle ligament is rarely indicated, but there are a number of ligament reconstruction procedures for recurrent ankle sprains. Hope that helps!

This is exactly the reason I raised the question of what has seemed to be a recurring injury for Bria over the last two years.

Thank you, Sensei!

I would have to go back and look at the details surrounding any of Bria's previous sprains. If they resulted from rolling her ankle, which is the much more common way of doing it, then the outside ligaments would be the ones injured/stretched. IIRC from write-ups on the current injury, the sprain occurred on the inside which is much less common and a bit more problematic. Hopefully, this latest injury is more of a one-off for her.
