Acute ankle ligament injury

Joint sprains are more common than joint dislocations, especially the ankle joint. However, the general injury of the ankle ligament is often not valued, and the actual incidence is several times that of the patients who come to the clinic. Ligament injuries are divided into two types: partial and complete rupture. The former is called ankle sprain or sting, and the latter can cause dislocation or subluxation of the ankle. When the ligament of the triangle, all the ligaments of the lower tibiofibular or part of the interosseous membrane are injured at the same time, the lower tibiofibular separation and the talus dislocation can occur. Clinically, the anterior peroneal ligament injury of the lateral malleolus and the anterior tibiofibular ligament injury are common. The triangular ligament injury is often associated with ankle fracture and dislocation.
