چکیده
The anatomy of the ankle, and the types of sporting injuries that occur in this joint, are described. Traditional treatment of soft tissue injuries involves immobilisation, and the value of this is questioned.

This alternative strategy can bring about full functional mobility in 94% of patients within 14 days.
