Duration of the healing process
How long the healing process of a sprain in the knee joint takes varies from person to person. Various factors influence the personal course of the genesis. These include the severity of the sprain and the personal constitution, such as age and development of the musculoskeletal apparatus in the lower extremity.
In addition, the timing of the start of therapy plays an important role. The earlier the therapy is started, the better the chances of recovery and the more likely it is to be free of symptoms. In general, the sprain is considered to be an injury with a good prognosis, which usually only causes symptoms for several days to a maximum of 2 weeks.
During the healing process, it is extremely important to take care of the knee joint and not to put it under full load again immediately after the 2 weeks. If the symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks despite therapeutic measures, it is advisable to consult a doctor again to clarify serious injuries or to initiate further treatment steps.
