Abstract
This case report describes the first boot-top fracture in an athlete using a prophylactic ankle brace. Health care providers should be aware that the possiblity of this injury exists when athletes use a rigid ankle brace. Prophylactic ankle bracing with rigid braces may have side effects, but if they prevent ankle sprains, the risk may be worth it. As the price of tape continues to rise and the controversy of taping continues, more institutions may employ prophylactic ankle bracing. Monitoring of ankle injuries should be done to identify changing injury patterns. Modifications to this brace may be necessary should this injury become common. Verf.-Referat
