Acute ankle sprain: conservative or surgical approach?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ankle sprains fall into two main categories: acute ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability, which are among the most common recurrent injuries during occupational activities, athletic events, training and army service.Acute ankle sprain is usually managed conservatively and functional rehabilitation failure by conservative treatment leads to development of chronic ankle instability, which most often requires surgical intervention.Enhancing the in-depth knowledge of the ankle anatomy, biomechanics and pathology helps greatly in deciding the management options.

متن کاملAcute and chronic lateral ankle instability in the athlete.
Ankle sprain injuries are the most common injury sustained during sporting activities. Three-quarters of ankle injuries involve the lateral ligamentous complex, comprised of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), and the posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL). The most common mechanism of injury in lateral ankle sprains occurs with forced plantar flexion an...
متن کاملSurgical Verses Conservative Treatment of Acute Lateral Ankle Sprains in Athletes
Inversion ankle sprains are the most common injuries in sports. Although these injuries are often considered minor, they can lead to persistent disability in athletes. Inadequate treatment can lead to chronic problems such as decreased range of motion, pain, and joint instability. The following paper will discuss the injury, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of these injuries, focusing on ev...
متن کاملPeroneal nerve injury with foot drop complicating ankle sprain--a series of four cases with review of the literature.
Foot drop has many etiologies. One rarely mentioned and often neglected reason for foot drop is an acute inversion sprain of the ankle. Over the past 14 years, a collection of 32 cases of foot drop have been compiled in our orthopaedic and physiatric practices. All cases had appropriate evaluations, including electrodiagnostic studies (electromyography and nerve conduction studies) to determine...
