I’ve suspected from the start it is a deltoid ligament injury because it looked like a medial ankle injury due to varus rotation of the foot. They typically take much longer to heal than a lateral ankle repair. Pretty much the worst thing to do with this type of ankle injury is come back too soon which can lead to laxity and long term instability which could require another repair and lengthy rehab. Basically, if you tear an ankle ligament, the deltoid is not the one you want to tear. But, once properly healed it shouldn’t be a long term issue.
Thanks for the in depth analysis. I think you missed the point.
He can't stay healthy. Whether its a long term issue or not something else seems to come up. Or if he is actually healthy then its time to move on anyway.
I for one am officially off the AJ Green train.
