Abstract
In brief Active patients who have recurrent ankle sprains usually have a treatable underlying neuromuscular, structural, or rehabilitation-related condition. A thorough history, neurologic exam, and physical exam involving a visual survey, foot and ankle palpation, and manual stress tests will help reveal the specific diagnosis. Most patients need only conservative treatment, which usually involves strengthening and bracing. Resistant injuries may require surgery.
