The healing duration of a ligament injury varies based on several factors, including the severity of the injury and individual factors. Generally, the healing process for a ligament can range from a few weeks to several months, and in some cases, it may take up to a year for complete recovery.   For mild ligament sprains, the healing time is typically shorter, ranging from around two to four weeks. With proper care, rest, and rehabilitation, the ligament can repair itself within this timeframe.    In the case of moderate ligament sprains, the healing process is more extensive and may require a longer recovery period. It can take over 10 weeks for the ligament to heal completely.    During this time, appropriate medical treatment, such as physical therapy, may be necessary to support the healing process and restore full functionality to the affected joint. Severe ligament injuries demand more time and patience for complete healing. If a ligament is significantly damaged, the recovery period can extend between six and 12 months. These injuries often involve complete tears or ruptures, requiring surgical intervention and a comprehensive rehabilitation program to regain strength, stability, and mobility.
