Usually after 2 weeks, stitches should be removed.There is also associated skin abrasion. You will be able to walk freely after 2-3 weeks if there is no major internal injury.

Stitches would need about 10 days to heal fully. However any Infections could delay wound healing. Take care of the wound , eat the proper Medicines. Do show to the doctor before getting stitches removed. Also give me more details about the ligaments injured, so that I give you the exact time frame for your healing
