Both patients will require the same precautions to allow ligament healing (i.e., limit the length of the lateral ankle ligaments and the amount of force on the ligament; avoid full inversion and full plantarflexion). However, the severity of the damage is greater in Patient B than in Patien...
In cases of a complete rupture of the LCL, reconstruction/reattachment of the LCL will be required. Using thesetherapies prior to surgerywill reduce further damage and improve the health of the surrounding tissue so the surgery will be less invasive. Generally, the more invasive the surgery, the...
Chronic lateral ankle instability is quite common after acute lateral ligament injury. The proportion of patients who develop chronic or recurrent instability is controversial, ranging between 5 and 35% of acute cases. Non-surgical treatment is well defined and includes mostly rehabilitation, especially ...

This paper summarizes the current understanding on acute ankle sprain injury, which is the most common acute sport trauma, accounting for about 14% of all sport-related injuries. Among, 80% are ligamentous sprains caused by explosive inversion or supinat
The severity of the symptoms depends on the extent of the injury. Damage to the deltoid ligament can cause the ankle to roll too far to the outside. The treatment of injuries to this ligament depends on the damage done to it, and medical professionals normally diagnose injuries in three ...
The worse the sprain or strain, the harder it is to use the affected area. Someone with a mildankle sprainmay just favor that ankle slightly. A more severe ankle sprain may cause much more pain and make it tough or impossible to walk. ...
