Leg Pain
Published in Benjamin Apichai, Chinese Medicine for Lower Body Pain, 2021
The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) are the most commonly injured ligaments with inversion ankle sprain.28 The posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL) is rarely injured except in association with a complete dislocation of the talus.

A 23-year-old woman injures her ankle after tripping on an uneven surface. Radiographs reveal no broken bones in her foot. Physical examination reveals a severe inversion sprain of her ankle. Which of the following structures has most likely been injured in this patient?Anterior talofibular ligament.Posterior talofibular ligament.Medial plantar nerve.Lateral plantar nerve.Deltoid ligament.

More than 90% of ankle ligament injuries involve the lateral side – usually the anterior talofibular, or both this and the calcaneofibular ligament; only in the most severe injuries is the posterior talofibular ligament torn.

The peak stresses of tibia, fibula, as well as cartilage of ankle joint and subtalar joint were analyzed. The medium collar boots would induce lower peak stress at tibia than the other two cases, while the collar height would not obviously influence the peak stress of fibula. Besides, medium and high collar boots would protect cartilages better compared to low collar boots through reducing peak stress of both ankle joint cartilage and subtalar joint cartilage. Furthermore, the peak forces of lateral ankle ligaments were also analyzed. The lateral ankle ligaments included anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament and posterior talofibular ligament. When landing on inversion ground surface, the ankle performed inversion motion in this simulation, and lateral ankle ligaments would be under damage risk, especially anterior talofibular ligament (Yu et al. 2016). The lateral ankle ligaments were protected best with medium collar boots.

Inclusion criteria were articles assessing factors that may influence RTP following conservatively treated acute ankle sprain; Any grade of ankle sprain; new and recurrent; athletes practicing any sport activity at any level; any age range; both male and female patients and full text articles published in English from inception until May 2018. Ankle sprain in this review is defined as a traumatic injury that occurred to one or more of lateral ankle ligaments: anterior talofibular ligament, posterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament. All types of study designs were considered to be included in this review. Articles were excluded if they did not include time to return to play (TTRTP) as an outcome measure at follow-up assessment and if they included participants following ankle surgery. In this review TTRTP is defined as number of days from injury until an athlete is back to sport activity. Animal and cadaver studies were also excluded.
