Functional treatment is clinically the treatment strategy of choice for ankle sprains. No full cost-effectiveness studies are known to compare functional treatment against immobilisation as treatment.
Objective: Acute ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries in emergency departments. Immobilization is widely accepted as the basic treatment modality for acute ankle sprains; however, immobilization method remains controversial. In this study, we aimed to compare two treatment modalities: splint and elastic bandage for the management ...
23 Μαΐ 2023 · Ankle sprains most commonly involve injury to the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and/or the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL). Ankle sprains vary depending on the mechanism of injury (high- versus low-energy injuries), position of the foot, and rotational force on the joint and stabilizing ligamentous structures.
Clinically Relevant Anatomy. For the lateral ankle ligament complex, the most frequently damaged ligament is the Anterior Talofibular ligament (ATFL). The mechanism of sprain injury of the ATFL and Calcaneofibular Ligament (CFL) is when a plantarflexed foot is forcefully inverted.
For the combined outcomes of pain, swelling and function after an acute sprain, there was strong evidence for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and early mobilisation, with moderate evidence supporting exercise and manual therapy techniques.
1 Φεβ 2024 · The most common mechanism of ankle injury is the inversion of the ankle, which stresses the lateral ligament complex. The ATFL, the weakest ligament in the complex, is affected in 70% of lateral ankle sprain cases. The mechanism primarily involves plantar flexion and inversion.
24 Ιαν 2024 · Treatment usually includes a brief period of immobilization followed by early functional physical therapy. Rarely, operative management is indicated in the setting of syndesmosis injury with tibiofibular diastasis or chronic ankle instability with recurrent sprains.
