“…1 This is clinically important because chronic instability increases the risk of repeated episodes of future sprains. 2 Therefore, US appears to be beneficial in reproducibly quantifying lateral ligamentous damage and instability and may therefore guide treatment. 1 For example, a treatment outcome may be stability of the tibiotalar interval with stress under US visualization.…”

“…This may include increased likelihood of synovial inflammation, synovitis, cartilage degradation, hyperalgesia and post-traumatic osteoarthritis, varus malalignment and persistent instability. 2,4 In fact, lateral ankle sprains in sporting injuries are the main cause of post-traumatic ankle osteoarthritis. 4 Furthermore, a combination of tibiotalar osteophytes and surrounding synovitis may produce anterior ankle impingement, a condition characterized by limitations with dorsiflexion and concurrent pain.…”

Objective: The purpose of this case report is to describe the diagnostic value of ultrasonography (US) in a patient with injury to the lateral ligaments of the ankle with concomitant ankle joint osteoarthritis and anterior impingement. Clinical Features: A 28-year-old male had a history of an inversion injury of the left ankle. Diagnostic US of the left ankle using an 8-to 15-MHz linear array transducer demonstrated a full thickness tear of the anterior talofibular ligament, partial thickness tearing of the calcaneofibular ligament, and laxity of the ankle with varus stress testing. In addition, US was able to demonstrate degeneration of the ankle and talonavicular joints and anterior impingement with dorsiflexion. Osteoarthritic changes were confirmed with radiography. Other US findings included remote deltoid ligamentous complex injury, multiple sites of tenosynovitis, and a large ankle joint effusion with synovial hypertrophy and synovitis. Intervention and Outcome: Using US, an accurate diagnosis was established with respect to the pathology and functional impairments of the patient's ankle. Conclusion: This case report exemplifies the value and utility of US in diagnosing derangement in ligamentous, tendinous, articular, and osseous injuries of the ankle.

“…[6,7] Further, injury to the ligaments of the ankle is one of the most common injuries sustained during athletic activities. [8] These injuries can be expensive to treat, lead to an early on-set of osteoarthritis, [9], result in decreased physical activity, [10][11][12] and affect one's physical quality of life.

Proprioception and Balance as Predictors of Ankle Injuries Among NCAA Student Athletes

Abstract:Ankle sprains are common in sports and account for nearly 15% of all sports-related injuries. Ankle injuries often result in functional instability of the ankle that makes these injuries susceptible to recurring. Extant research has noted that functional instability of the ankle does not result from mechanical hypermobility, but instead from a loss of neuromuscular control. Thus, it seems proprioception and balance could be a predictor of ankle sprain. Given the costs of ankle injuries for collegiate athletes (e.g., painful, potentially recurring, expensive to treat, result in loss of playing time, and may potentially impact a student athlete's potential for a career as a professional athlete), this study sought to determine if various factors such as gender, sport played, history of balance problems, self-perception of ankle stability, and the result of a modified Romberg Test could predict ankle sprain among 128 NCAA Division II student athletes.
