title: [Lateral ligament ruptures of the ankle joint in young athletes].
abstract: Treatment of lateral ligament rupture of the ankle has previously been primarily surgical. Immobilisation in a plaster cast has recently become more usual, and gradually this treatment is partially being replaced by immobilisation in adhesive elastic bandage. Operation of younger, athletic patients with large ruptures is, however, still recommended. It is inexpedient to operate these patients. They will be delayed for several weeks in their return to sport.
