Rupture of the ankle ligaments

Abstract: A prospective randomised trial of treatment of ruptured ankle ligaments was carried out at our institute. Two hundred patients were randomly assigned to 4 treatment groups. The results at 1 and 2 years after injury showed that functional treatment with a newly designed brace appeared to be the method of choice.

Operation is only indicated for dislocations of the ankle and fo… Show more

“…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.…”
