  • Overview

A ‘sprained’ ankle is common. These injuries may not be as benign as they first seem. If symtoms do not settle then this may be due to the ligamentous injury intself or may be due to another cause. This presentation explores a number of frequently seen alternative disgnoses to a sprained ankle and how these may present, be investigated and are treated following an ankle injury.
