title: Ankle injuries in the athlete.
abstract: The ankle is one of the more vulnerable and commonly injured joints in athletic activities, with sprains accounting for between 30 and 50 per cent of all reported injuries among athletic teams. Despite this high volume and opportunity for experience, the ankle remains one of the most poorly understood and inadequately treated sites of injury.
