title: Immediate Diagnosis of Ankle Trauma.
abstract: In brief Traumatic Injuries to the ankle vary greatly in severity, from minor contusions to displaced intra-articular fractures. A systematic approach to their evaluation can lead to more accurate diagnoses and help simplify treatment options. Primary care physicians can successfully manage most sports-related ankle trauma, but knowing when to obtain orthopedic consultation is equally important.
