From what I understand, there are 3 ligaments that attach to the ankle bone. They tend to tear in order from back to front. So, it is likely to tear the first and/or second without tearing the third. That is where I think I am. A complete tear of all three means your foot is flopping around and has to be completely immobilized.
I think you guys are right, it maybe next year before I do any racing. I hope to be able to do some trial riding much sooner than that. I've broken several bones and understand the recovery and rehab process for those, but this is new territory for me.
