Around 90% of ankle sprains involve an inversion injury (the foot turns inward) to the anterior talofibular (ATFL) and calcaneofibular (CFL) ligaments — the lateral ligaments on the outside of the ankle. The less common medial ankle sprain is caused by an eversion injury (the foot turns out) to the deltoid ligament on the inside of the ankle.

Lateral ankle sprain refers to partial or complete tearing/disruption of the ankle ligaments on the outside of the ankle. Ligaments, in general, are the structures that connect bone-to-bone.

These ligaments play a crucial role in stabilizing the ankle joint and preventing excessive movement.

2023年5月23日 · Acute ankle sprains are commonly seen in both primary care practices and emergency departments and can result in significant short-term morbidity, recurrent injuries, and functional instability. Appropriate initial evaluation and treatment can decrease the likelihood of these complications.

Persisting post-injury symptoms such as swelling, impaired strength, instability (occasional giving way), and impaired balance responses for more than 12 months following the initial injury is defined as '' Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) '' [3].
