Abstract

Acute injuries of the ankle are one of the most common injuries seen by general practitioners and emergency departments [1]. They involve approximately 25% of all injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Inversion trauma, also referred to as lateral ankle sprains, constitutes a large proportion of these injuries [2–4].
