Ankle sprain
Ankle injuries are among the most common injuries presenting to primary care management. Ankle sprain patient (stretching, partial rupture, or complete rupture of at least one ligament) constitute a large percentage of these injuries.
Recurrent ankle sprains can lead to functional instability and loss of normal ankle kinematics, which can result in recurrent injury, chronic instability, early degenerative bony changes, and chronic pain
CLASSIFICATION OF ANKLE SPRAINS
1. Lateral ankle sprain
2. Medial ankle sprain
3. Syndesmotic sprain (high ankle sprain)
Grading – Ankle sprains have traditionally been classified based upon clinical signs and functional loss from grade I to grade III
