Abstract des Autors
The vast majority of ankle injuries involve one or more of the lateral supporting ligaments and can usually be managed successfully in the primary care setting. Important diagnostic variables include the mechanism of injury, the level of weight-bearing ability, and the presence or absence of bony tenderness. Early application of a focal compression device is the paramount measure for preserving range of motion and strength. Other important measures include early mobilization, contrast baths, strength exercise, and, on return to activity, prophylactic bracing. Verf.-Referat
