Most people improve significantly in the first two weeks. However, some still have problems with pain and instability after one year (5–30%). Re-injury is also very common. There are currently no published evidence-based criteria to inform RTS (return to sport) decisions for patients with a lateral<unk>  sprain injury. Return to sport decisions following acute lateral<unk>  sprain injury are generally time-based. Mild sprains typically begin to feel better in a few days to a week and heal by six weeks. More severe<unk>  sprains could take more than a few weeks or months to fully recover. The mean time to return to sports patients is 12.9 weeks. Average time to return to work after injury range from less than one week to two months.
