“…Additionally, although some studies have reported that compression limits development of edema because of mechanical reduction of localized blood flow 19 , treatment with compression alone, implemented in this study under the same experimental conditions, did not produce the same effects as cryotherapy.…”

Introduction: Although cryotherapy associated with compression has been recommended as an immediate treatment for muscle injuries, the effect of intermittent sessions of these procedures in the area of secondary muscle injuries has not been clearly established. Objective: To evaluate the effect of intermittently applying cryotherapy and compression (three 30-minute sessions at 90-minute intervals) on an injured area of the right tibialis anterior (RTA) muscle in rats. Method: An injury was induced in the RTA muscle by means of cryoinjury. Twenty-four Wistar rats (340 ± 20g) were divided into four experimental groups: a) Injury + Cryotherapy (I+C), which received intermittent cryotherapy and compression; b) Injury + Placebo (I+P), which received placebo treatment; c) Injury (I), which did not undergo any treatment protocols; and d) Cryotherapy, which remained intact and underwent cryotherapy and compression treatment. The animals were sacrificed 24 hours after the injury, and the muscles were sectioned in a cryostat. The histological sections were stained with toluidine blue for subsequent measurement of the area of the muscle injury (morphometry). The statistical analysis consisted of the ANOVA and Tukey tests (p≤ 0.05). Results: The morphometric analysis 24 hours after the injury indicated that there had been a significant reduction in the area of the muscle injury in the I+C group (35.87 ± 4.9%), in comparison with the I+P group (46.4 ± 3.9%; p= 0.001) and the I group (46.5 ± 4.1%; p= 0.002). Conclusion: Three sessions of cryotherapy and compression were efficient in preventing an increase in the injured area, while compression alone did not achieve such effectiveness.

“…The severity of acute ankle sprains can vary widely. They often result in persistent pain, limitations in movement, muscle weakness, swelling, stiffness, and absenteeism from work and/or sports participation (Hedges, ; Cetti, ; Zwipp et al., ; Yeung et al., ; Gerber et al., ; Verhagen et al., ; Hubbard & Hicks‐Little, ). Reinjuries and chronic ankle instability also can result from acute ankle sprains.…”

Ankle injuries are a common health problem; data on ankle injury rates and time trends in the population at large are scarce. Our aim was to investigate the incidence of and time trends in population-based and emergency department-treated ankle injuries related to sports activities and other activities related to daily living. Data were obtained from one national survey on accidents and injuries (2000-2010) and one based on emergency department data (1986-2010). Linear regression was used to determine linear trends in ankle injuries per 1000 person-years. The number of ankle injuries related to sports activities and other activities of daily living increased from 19.0 to 26.6 per 1000 person-years (P = 0.002). The number of sports-related ankle injuries treated in emergency departments decreased from 4.2 to 1.5 per 1000 person-years (P < 0.001), and from 3.2 to 2.1 per 1000 person-years (P < 0.001) for other activities of daily living. According to our data, the incidence rates of all ankle injuries are around 5.5 times higher than those registered at emergency departments. The high incidence rates of ankle injuries highlight the need for proper ankle injury treatment and prevention.

“…It is generally believed that conservative (nonoperative) acute treatment and late reconstructive procedures provide good results. 3,16,41,45,52,57,66,69,73,86 Why the basic principles are not being used, particularly by the orthopaedic surgeons, cannot be explained by these data.…”

The Sprained Ankle: Current Therapy

The sprained ankle is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries. Three treatments for severe acute sprain are advocated: immobilization, protected mobilization, and primary surgical repair. These injuries are cared for by different medical and paramedical specialties, each with varying skills and interests. In order to define the current preferred treatment, a survey was randomly distributed to 500 physicians. These data indicate that the treatment is generally conservative: cast immobilization was the preferred treatment for the moderate and severe sprain. These data also demonstrated that basic care (e.g., ice and elevation) and rehabilitation were often neglected. Significant differences were noted between the specialties of orthopaedic surgery, family practice, and emergency medicine.
