Ankle sprains are a prevalent ailment in the active population, whether it's netball, rugby or playing with your kids at the local playground. Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) are particularly common in young active people and have a high incidence and high recurrence rates. A clinical study observed that at three months post-ankle sprain, 65% of participants reported ongoing instability, and 24% reported one or more re-sprains. At the 12-month follow-up, 55% still reported instability, and more than half considered themselves not fully recovered. As a result, we must consider the notion that there is no such thing as a simple ankle sprain. Even the most basic ankle sprain can be complex, requiring meticulous care and treatment.
