Ankle injuries are one of the most common injuries presenting to both outpatient clinics and emergency departments, with a large percentage of these being ankle sprains. These sprains can be anywhere from a mild injury (with only a small amount of pain with ambulation) to severe (with significant functional limitations). The podcast will discuss the anatomy and structures of the ankle, grading and classification of the sprain types, important history and physical exam maneuvers, the indications for radiography, and finally management.
