Other injuries may present as a LAS and are easily missed including fractures, a high-ankle sprain (syndesmosis), peroneal traction tenosynovitis or, less commonly, injuries such as peroneal tendon dislocation and coalitions.

Applied forces can wedge the fibula apart from the tibia with sufficient force to tear the interosseous membrane and tibiofibular ligaments in what is termed a high ankle sprain. The most likely mechanisms for high ankle sprain are talar torsion and forced ankle dorsiflexion.

Publicly available data were reviewed to record all reported ankle injuries occurring in NFL athletes between the 2009–2010 and 2019–2020 seasons [7,8], utilizing previously reported data collection methods [9–14]. Inclusion criteria consisted of NFL athletes identified as sustaining high ankle sprains, syndesmosis, or syndesmotic injuries through publicly available data, while athletes were excluded from statistical analysis if their injury could not be explicitly classified as a high ankle injury. Player injury history was not available and therefore could not be included as a variable. Initial data collection was independently performed by two authors [DAH and JDM] by querying publicly available data from online league and player databases for weekly regular season NFL injury reports and identifying injuries reported as ‘high ankle sprain,’ ‘syndesmosis,’ or ‘syndesmotic injury.’ [7,8] These NFL injury reports consist of practice reports documenting athlete availability during NFL practices, along with game status reports that captures athlete availability during games [15,16]. The league mandates all NFL teams publish injury reports after each regular season practice and prior to each regular season game. Pro-Football-Reference.com (Sports Reference LLC, Philadelphia, PA) was also utilized to identify all ‘high ankle sprain,’ ‘syndesmosis,’ or ‘syndesmotic injury’ that resulted in a player being designated as injured reserve (IR) or physically unable to perform (PUP) [16]. For each queried injury, the record was further verified by reviewing publicly available press releases. Following the two independent authors data collection, identified athletes were compared, and any disagreements in athlete inclusion were resolved through mutual discussion with the first author [SFD].
