Study Notes
Inversion Sprains
- Inversion ankle sprains resulting in lateral ligament injuries are the most common type of sprain.
- The fibular malleolus extends further inferiorly than the tibial malleolus, which, combined with the strength of the deltoid ligament, prevents excessive eversion.
Syndesmotic Ligament Sprains
- Syndesmotic ligament sprains are extremely difficult to treat and often take many months to heal, longer than inversion or eversion sprains.
Treatment and Rehabilitation
- Treatment options include:
- Intermittent air compression devices
- Ultrasound therapy
- Ankle air splints
- Walking boots
- Ankle Cryo-cuffs
- Balance training
- Biodex stability system
- Proprioception training using a wobble board
- Peroneal muscle strengthening exercises
- Friction massage for lateral and medial ligaments (A and B)
Foot Injuries
- Foot injuries are common in sports involving running or jumping, which require the foot to provide stability and shock attenuation.
Hallux Valgus (Bunions)
- Hallux valgus is a deformity of the head of the first metatarsal, where the large toe assumes a valgus position.
- In a normal foot, the toes are aligned properly.
