Ankle sprain
Ankle sprain
A tear in the ligaments outside of the ankle, specifically the anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament.
Mechanism of ankle sprain
Mechanism of ankle sprain
Landing or stepping on the foot in an inverted position (plantarflexed, internally rotated, supinated) puts excessive strain on the ankle ligaments, leading to a sprain.
Predisposing factor: Previous injury
Predisposing factor: Previous injury
A period of 12-24 months after a previous ankle injury increases the risk of another sprain.

Study Notes
Viva Voce Stations
- The viva voce consists of 4 stations
- Students may face up to 8 injuries
- 2 stations assess acute injuries
- 2 stations assess chronic injuries
Viva Voce Topics
- Anterior Cruciate Knee ligament injury
- Elbow joint dislocation
- Hamstring strain
- Ankle sprain
- Patella tendonitis
- Osgood-Schlatters syndrome
- Plantar fasciitis
- Chondromalacia patellae
Ankle Sprain - Anatomy
- Ankle sprains involve a tear in the ligaments outside the ankle
- The ligaments affected are the anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament
Ankle Sprain - Mechanisms
- Ankle sprains often occur when landing or stepping on the foot in an inverted, internally rotated, and supinated position
- This causes an overload on the ligaments leading to strain
Ankle Sprain - Predisposing Factors
- Factors that contribute to ankle sprains include postural sway, height and weight, muscle strength, and foot size
- These pre-existing factors can increase risk and severity
Ankle Sprain - Rehabilitation
- Rehabilitation for ankle sprains may include taping or bracing for up to 12 months
- Taping and bracing helps with recovering from injury
- Balance board training exercises improve ankle strength, stability, and mobility
- Surgery may be necessary for severe sprains
