Management of acute ligament injuries of the ankle

Jon Karlsson et al. Foot Ankle Clin. 2006 Sep.

Abstract

Ligament injuries of the ankle are common and troublesome. Management may seem easy, but residual symptoms ae common. Grade III injuries still generate controversy in terms of the best management available, and more studies are needed when it comes to early mobilization, cast immobilization, or surgery. Even the three Cohrane reviews published to date are not conclusive.
