The original study reported that the test was 100% sensitive and reduced the number of ankle X-rays by 36%. [4] A second trial with a larger number of patients replicated these findings. [5] Subsequently, a multi-centre study explored the feasibility of implementing the rules on a wider scale. [6]
A sprained ankle (twisted ankle, rolled ankle, turned ankle, etc.) is an injury where sprain occurs on one or more ligaments of the ankle. It is the most commonly occurring injury in sports, mainly in ball sports such as basketball , volleyball , football , pickleball , and tennis .
The ankle joint consists of the talus resting within the mortise created by the tibia and fibula as previously described. Since the talus is wider anteriorly (in the front) than posteriorly (at the back), as the front of the foot is raised (dorsiflexed) reducing the angle between the foot and lower leg to less than 90°, then the mortise is confronted with an increasingly wider talus.
The Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) is an anatomical-based coding system created by the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine to classify and describe the severity of injuries. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It represents the threat to life associated with the injury rather than the comprehensive assessment of the severity of the injury. [ 4 ]
Imaging for evaluation of ankle fractures can include x-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. Typically evaluation begins with x-rays, which can provide information about the mechanism of injury, severity of injury, and stability of fracture. The Ottawa ankle rules determine the necessity of obtaining x-rays in patients with acute ankle injuries. These ...
Ankle pain is also present in patients who have high level entrapments. Inflammation or swelling can occur within this tunnel for a number of reasons. The flexor retinaculum has a limited ability to stretch, so increased pressure will eventually cause compression on the nerve within the tunnel.
The ankle injury also put Ayub’s participation in doubt for next month’s Champions Trophy which begins Feb. 19 at Karachi when Pakistan takes on New Zealand in the opening match.
