Etiology
Anatomy
Plan of care
- commonly injured ligaments: anterior tibiofibular ligament, posterior tibiofibular ligament, and lateral collateral ligament complex
Prognosis
- inversion is the most common, it occurs when the ankle rolls outward and the foot turns inward resulting in stretching and tearing ligaments on the outside
- eversion occurs when the ankle rolls inward and the foot turns outward resulting in damaged ligaments in the outside of the ankle
- ice and elevation to reduce inflammation
- possible brace or cast to reduce motion
- possible use of crutches
- most sprains heal without complications
- recovery time depends on the severity of the sprain
- exercise is recommended once swelling of the ankle goes down
Medication
- anti-inflammatory and occasionally narcotics
Signs and symptoms
- swelling and bruising of tissue
- pain (throbbing) worsens when weight barring
