    Ankle sprain

Summary

When one or more of the ankle ligaments (the tissue and fibers that maintain joint stability) are subject to abnormal or excessive external forces, such as sudden rotation in motion, stepping on uneven ground or sudden impact on the ankle, resulting in excessive stretching or tearing, resulting in ankle sprain.

Sprain type

Lateral varus: Over 85% of all ankle sprains occur when the foot and ankle slip outward (varus), damaging the lateral or lateral margin ligaments of the ankle. The anterior interfibular ligament is most vulnerable.

Medial hallux valgus: inward sliding (hallux valgus) in the ankle and medial or inner edge of the ankle.

Band.

Ligament union (high ankle sprain): The rarest of all foot and ankle sprains is the injury of the upper ankle caused by the inward slide of the foot and ankle, accompanied by the inward rotation of the tibia. It is most common in contact sports such as basketball, football, football, etc.

Degree of injury

Foot and ankle sprains are usually graded according to the degree of injury: first-degree sprains refer to one or more ligaments that are stretched excessively, accompanied by mild pain, bruises, inflammation, walking difficulties and tenderness. Secondary sprains occur when one or more ligaments are partially torn. They can be accompanied by moderate pain and disability, bruises, inflammation and weight loss. A third-degree injury is a complete tear ((rupture) of one or more ligaments that causes severe pain and swelling, bruises, joint relaxation, and dysfunction.


Treatment

Acute ankle sprains should be treated with RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation - NSAIDs can relieve swelling and pain. Depending on the severity of the injury, braces, plaster or walking boots may be needed. Early rehabilitation training at home or regular physical therapy may also be used to protect joint mobility to accelerate healing.

Orthopedics

The most common orthopedic procedures are:

1. Foot orthosis: High heel cup orthosis pads (such as UCBL) made of HDPP or hard EVA can maintain the correct position of the heel and regulate ankle movement.

2. Stable boots: The lowest heel height is also 6 inches, the appropriate width can better maintain ankle stability from both sides of the inside and outside ankle. Daily wear of foot braces, such as orthopedic pads or stabilized boots, is essential for people with habitual ankle sprains. Orthopedic insoles and shoes/boots may be required even if the sprain is cured or the patient is consciously recovered.

1. Foot orthosis (insoles): Most are made of rigid materials: for example, shore A55 + rigid EVA and PE foam plate thermosetting made of a deep heel cup of orthosis insoles, can better maintain the heel bone position of HDPP material made of UCBL foot orthosis. The position of the heel and calcaneus directly affects the stability of the ankle above it, that is, the stability of the gait.

2. Stable boots: The lowest heel height is also 6 inches, which has a suitable width and strengthens and lengthens the heel to better maintain ankle stability. The elastic soles of the forefoot can better adjust gait abnormalities due to ankle weakness. The sole must be hard, and for some people it is necessary to strengthen the inside and outside of the sole to stabilize the ankle.

3. Diabetic shoes/boots: People with diabetic foot may develop arthritis or even arthrodesis if they have ankle sprain. This kind of support shoe must have no seams in the forepaw. At the same time, it should be equipped with insoles with thermoplastic molding materials on the surface to avoid local friction and reduce the risk of blisters, skin breakage, bleeding, infection and so on.
