Abstract
Ankle sprains are very common, accounting for 20% to 40% of all sports-related injuries.(1,2) These injuries are known to recur often and create prolonged disability.(2,3) Ankle sprains are classified into grades 1, 2, 3, which generally correspond to mild, moderate, or severe. They are also classified into three anatomic types: lateral, medial, and syndesmosis. This protocol focuses on lateral sprains of all grades.
