On the YouTube channel of Himchan Hospital, Ryu Seung-yeol, head of the orthopedic surgery clinic, informs about the treatment, rehabilitation process, and first aid methods for ankle ligament damage. This is a follow-up video following last week's Su-chan's joint talk'How to manage ankle ligament damage step by step'. Ankle ligament damage is often expressed as 'sprain the ankle', and refers to an excessive stretch or tear of the ligament supporting the ankle joint. Depending on the degree of damage, it is classified into 1 to 3 degrees of damage, and the treatment varies accordingly. A mild sprain can be improved with conservative treatments such as cold compresses, but when a ligament is ruptured, surgery can be considered depending on the part or complete rupture.

Director Ryu Seung-yeol of Himchan Hospital explained that `In ligament is not a dilating tissue, but a tissue that is attached between bones and stabilizes joints.' `If it is not a complete rupture, surgery is not performed immediately.' In addition, even if the ligament is completely broken, if the joint is not very unstable, surgery is not necessary. "However, patients whose ankles continue to bend and remain unstable will undergo surgery."

In addition, this video specifically deals with the rehabilitation period and process after ankle ligament surgery, and how to treat emergency situations (PRICE). Su-chan's Joint Talk Corner features joint and spine experts to make it easy to understand patients' questions about various diseases and treatments every week.
