TL;DR
This review provides a comprehensive, imaging-centred overview of the spectrum of high ankle sprain injuries with a focus on lower energy mechanisms, which occur more commonly in sport.
Foot and ankle injuries are among the most common musculoskeletal conditions encountered in both athletic and general populations, accounting for a substantial proportion of emergency and sports medicine visits. These injuries encompass a wide spectrum, from acute ligamentous sprains to more subtle and frequently misdi...
Introduction. Ligamentous injuries of the ankle joint are among the most common sports- and work-related musculoskeletal injuries. Despite advances in the management of acute ankle sprains, 25–40% of patients subsequently develop chronic ankle instability (CAI). This condition is characterized by recurrent ankle sprain...
Integration of biomechanics, imaging characteristics, and clinical presentation is essential to differentiate clinically significant injury from asymptomatic or low-grade imaging findings and to guide appropriate management and return-to-play decisions.
Reports of clinical series indicate that arthroscopic stabilization is becoming the new gold-standard for chronic ankle ligament instability, but this needs to be confirmed in larger-scale studies with longer follow-up.
A precision rehabilitation model comprising wearable technology, AI-assisted decision-making, and tailored individual care strategies holds strong potential to address current limitations and improve long-term patient outcomes.
Deltoid ligament (DL) injuries are common in ankle trauma, yet their optimal management remains debated. Most trauma literature considers DL injury as an isolated ankle problem, whereas foot-and-ankle specialists view the ankle and the foot as a complex. This disconnect leaves a critical knowledge gap that our work aim...
