Fortunately, even if ligament injuries require surgical repair, it usually does not need to be completed in an emergent fashion. Rather, it can be planned after the initial pain and swelling has subsided.

Occasionally, athletes will use braces prophylactically to try to decrease the likelihood of ligamentous injury.
