Hi Roger
I ruptured ligament in my ankle playing football when I was 16 - 27 years ago now.
I was in plaster for 6 weeks and had months of rehab afterwards (physiotherapy and exercises). Fortunately I belonged to a professional sports club so I had the very best assistance from that regard. I have had no issues since.
Surgery was not an option at the time so I cannot really comment on that.
Given my experience, it is the work you do afterwards that will ensure no issues later on.
Good luck with it all!
