title: Ankle Sprains.
abstract: In brief: Ankle sprain is a risk for many athletes, especially those in the jumping sports (eg, volleyball and basketball) as well as football and soccer, where players tend to roll over on the ankle. Lateral sprains occur much more frequently than medial eversion sprains, but the latter are more devastating. In addition to types of sprains, this panel of specialists discussed surgical vs nonsurgical treatment, tape vs brace for support, rehabilitation and exercise, and ways to prevent ankle sprains.
