3. Joint Instability
Joint instability is the result of the loss of attachment site where the tendon or ligament meets the bone. It’s actually common for this to not only damage the connection, but also for the tendon or ligament to be torn or frayed. In the case of tendon damage, this can also result in muscle tears.
All of this means that the amount of tension the ligament and the muscle can place on the joint will be diminished. As such, you might be more prone to tipping your ankle, or twisting your hip or your finger in future.
This is something that might never fully recover. For that reason, it is very important to see a physiotherapist or another professional that can give you exercises to strengthen the area and to improve your muscle control. Follow these exercises to help avoid future accidents and to regain any lost performance and mobility.
