ABSTRACT

Acute ankle inversion sprains occur very often during daily living and sport activities. Level of recovery depends upon degree of soft-tissue damage, and prognosis is generally good. This guideline was formulated with evidence-based medicine methodology and attempts to aid in accurate diagnosis and indication of the correct radiologic studies. We strongly stress the need for classification according to degree of soft-tissue damage, and treatment as soon as possible to avoid swelling, stiffness, and inability to walk. We propose that this program be prescribed at the rehabilitation service.
