“…Overall, the percentage time loss longer than 7 days due to ankle injuries in males and females was reported at 29.7 and 32.5 %, respectively. The percentages of time loss longer than 7 days for specific injuries were reported as follows: lateral ligament tear (male, 29.0 %; female, 30.8 %); deltoid ligament tear (male, 18.1 %; female, 24.5 %); anterior tibiofibular syndesmosis sprain (male, 47.3 %; female, 56.7 %) [23]. A systematic review found sex as a potential confounding factor that influenced time to return to play in conservatively treated ankle sprain [24]; however, research on the prognosis of ankle sprain taking sex into account is not available.…”

Fear Avoidance Beliefs in College Athletes with a History of Ankle Sprain

Ankle sprains are the most prevalent injuries, and elevated fear avoidance beliefs after ankle sprain episodes could inhibit athletic performance and contribute to residual symptoms, such as functional and/or mechanical instability. However, it remains unclear how fear avoidance beliefs differ according to conditions of posttraumatic sequelae. The purpose of this study was to determine whether fear of movement/reinjury differed between individuals with and without functional ankle instability (FI, NFI) and healthy controls (CON) and to examine the relationship between fear and ankle joint laxity by sex. Participants (115 male athletes, 105 female athletes) completed the Identification of Functional Ankle Instability, Athlete Fear Avoidance Questionnaire (AFAQ), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), and ankle joint laxity test. Total 168 athletes (79 males, 89 females) data were eligible for analysis. The results demonstrated that fear of movement/reinjury was lower in individuals in the absence of functional ankle instability although they experienced ankle sprain (FI; TSK=38.6±4.5, AFAQ=27.4±6.2, NFI; TSK=35.7±5.6, AFAQ=24.5±6.6). The fear of movement/reinjury had correlation with ankle joint laxity only in female athletes (TSK; r=0.285, p=0.013, AFAQ; r 0=0.322, p=0.045).

“…The lateral ligament of the ankle is a key ligament structure to maintain stability of the ankle, and consists of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), and posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL). Due to the anatomical and motor characteristics of the ankle, approximately 85% of the ankle sports injuries are varus injuries, which is damage to the lateral ligament structure, and of which 62% are combined with ATFL injury. Most of the patients with an ankle varus injury can obtain satisfactory results from conservative treatment for 3 to 6 months.…”

Objective: To evaluate the functional outcomes of arthroscopic anatomical repair of anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) in the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) during medium-and long-term follow-up.Methods: From September 2014 to August 2017, the data of 37 patients (23 males, 14 females; 12 left ankles, 25 right ankles) aged between 21 and 56 years, with an average age of 32.17 AE 6.35 years, presenting with CLAI, was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 32 injuries were caused by sprain and five injuries were caused by car accidents. The course of the disease lasted for 12 to 60 months, with an average of 26.07 AE 13.29 months. All patients had intact skin around the ankle and no skin lesions. All patients underwent arthroscopic anatomical repair of ATFL, with the fixation of one to two anchors. Pre-and post-operative visual analogue scales (VAS), the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Ankle-Hindfoot Score (AOFAS), and the Karlsson Ankle Functional Score (KAFS) were compared to evaluate the curative effect of the operation. Results:The operation was successful in all 37 cases. The operation time ranged from 40 to 75 min, with an average of 51.25 AE 11.49 min. After surgery, all incisions healed in stage I and there were no complications such as nerve, blood vessel and tendon injury, implant rejection, or suture rejection. Hospital stays of postoperative patients were 3 to 5 days, with an average of 3.77 AE 1.36 days. All patients were followed for 24 to 45 months, averaging 33.16 AE 10.58 months. For three patients with CLAI combined with mild limitation of subjective ankle movement, joint activity was normal after rehabilitation function exercise and proprioceptive function training for 2 months. At the final follow-up, ankle pain had disappeared completely. The ankle varus stress test and ankle anterior drawer test were both negative. Range of joint motion was good. There was no lateral instability of the ankle and all patients returned to normal gait. The mean VAS score decreased to 1.12 AE 0.13, the AOFAS score increased to 92.53 AE 4.87, and the KAFS score increased to 93.36 AE 6.15. All the follow-up indexes were significantly different from those before surgery.Conclusion: Arthroscopic anatomical repair of ATFL for CLAI is precise, with less surgical trauma and reliable medium-and long-term effect.

“…Use of the NCAA-ISP has been previously well-described in the literature and will be briefly reviewed. 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 , 14 , 17 , 22 – 24 The NCAA-ISP utilizes a voluntary convenience sample of NCAA programs over a 5-year period. Consequently, there is variability in the number of programs participating in the data set each year.…”

Background: Hand and wrist injuries (HWIs) are common in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball players and can negatively affect performance. There is limited literature available on this topic. Purpose: To open a discussion on prevention strategies and encourage future research on HWIs in basketball athletes. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: HWIs sustained by male and female NCAA basketball players during the 2009-2010 through 2013-2014 academic years and reported to the NCAA Injury Surveillance Program (NCAA-ISP) database were utilized to characterize the epidemiology thereof. Rates and distributions of HWIs were identified within the context of mechanism of injury, injury recurrence, and time lost from sport. Results: Over the 5-year period, 81 HWIs in women and 171 HWIs in men were identified through the NCAA-ISP database. These were used to estimate 3515 HWIs nationally in women’s basketball athletes and 7574 HWIs nationally in men’s basketball athletes. The rate of HWIs in women was 4.20 per 10,000 athlete-exposures (AEs) and in men was 7.76 per 10,000 AEs, making men 1.85 times more likely to sustain HWIs compared with women. In men, HWIs were 3.31 times more likely to occur in competition compared with practice, while in women, HWIs were 2.40 times more likely to occur in competition than in practice. Based on position, guards, both men and women, were the most likely to suffer HWIs. Conclusion: HWIs were common in collegiate basketball players. Most injuries were new, and the majority of players were restricted from participation for less than 24 hours. Men were more likely to be injured compared with women, and injuries were most common in the setting of competition for both sexes. The majority of injuries was considered minor and did not extensively limit participation; however, prevention and detection remain important for optimal performance.
