“…Special tests such as the anterior drawer and inversion talar tilt tests have more diagnostic accuracy 5 days after injury than they do 2 days after injury. 6,7 Evidence Category: B 5. Clinicians must be vigilant in assessing associated lesions, both local and distant to the talocrural joint, that may accompany ankle sprains.…”

Objective: To present recommendations for athletic trainers and other allied health care professionals in the conservative management and prevention of ankle sprains in athletes.Background: Because ankle sprains are a common and often disabling injury in athletes, athletic trainers and other sports health care professionals must be able to implement the most current and evidence-supported treatment strategies to ensure safe and rapid return to play. Equally important is initiating preventive measures to mitigate both first-time sprains and the chance of reinjury. Therefore, considerations for appropriate preventive measures (including taping and bracing), initial assessment, both short-and long-term management strategies, return-to-play guidelines, and recommendations for syndesmotic ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability are presented.Recommendations: The recommendations included in this position statement are intended to provide athletic trainers and other sports health care professionals with guidelines and criteria to deliver the best health care possible for the prevention and management of ankle sprains. An endorsement as to best practice is made whenever evidence supporting the recommendation is available.

“…The talar tilt test also helps determine CFL competence. The sensitivity of these tests is variable and ranges from 74 to 96% [33][34][35][36][37]. Regardless, performing a manual physical exam is an important part of assessing a patient presenting with ankle instability.…”

Purpose of review Ankle sprains, which account for 40% of sports injuries in the USA, can lead to chronic ankle instability. Chronic ankle instability can be classified as functional, mechanical, or a combination of both and is diagnosed using a combination of a physical exam, an MRI, and stress radiographs. This review focuses on different approaches to treatment, including non-operative and operative techniques, of chronic ankle instability, including reviewing traditional procedures as well as more novel and newer techniques. Recent findings Based on existing literature, non-operative treatment should always precede operative treatment of chronic ankle instability. If rehabilitation fails, Brostrom-Gould type ankle stabilization has been the preferred surgical option. Recent literature suggests that arthroscopic repair might reduce recovery time and improve outcomes in certain populations; however, there are higher rates of complication following these surgeries. In more high-risk populations, some literature reports that ligament repair with peroneus brevis transfer could be a more effective treatment option. Summary Currently, varying surgical techniques exist for the treatment of chronic ankle instability. While the more recently reported techniques show promise, it is important to note that there is little evidence showing they are more successful than traditional techniques. It is imperative that future studies focus on outcomes and complication rates of these newer procedures.
