What is ankle sprain trauma?

Ankle sprain occurs when the foot is forced inward. It can be the result of contact with an opponent or one incorrect support. It is usual to recognize three degrees of this injury, which correspond to the number of ligaments involved. Ankle sprain trauma it is first grade when only the anterior talofibular ligament is affected. is instead of second degree when, in addition to this structure, the calcaneal fibula is also involved. Finally, it is of third grade if there is also a third ligament involved, the posterior talar fibular. “Unless it is the last of many recurrences, which favor the instability of the joint, in the case of first-degree ankle sprain surgery, surgery is not necessary, but a conservative treatment. On the other hand, surgery may be appropriate when the injury is of the second or third degree”, explains the Doctor Roberto Pelucchiorthopedic specialist in Foot Surgery at the Zucchi Clinical Institutes in Monza.
recovery times

Since the main risk factor of an ankle sprain trauma is precisely the relapses, it is important not to rush recovery times when you are the victim of this injury, which can be aggravated by the possible involvement of the cartilages. To recover from a first-degree sprain trauma and resume sporting activity without limitations, these are necessary on average 30 to 40 days. “It is not so much the repair of the scar tissue that takes time, but the recovery from the damage suffered by the sensory neurological receptors present in this joint” explains Dr. Pelucchi. Without having completed an adequate recovery process, returning to sport can be very dangerous, because even if the ankle appears to be stable, when it is subjected to abnormal stresses it does not react like a healthy ankle, thus facing relapses. “Also protect the joint with braces and bandages before complete healing to increase the feeling of stability exposes to the risk of recurrence”, warns the expert.
the usefulness of proprioceptive exercises
—
Initially, the treatment of a first-degree ankle sprain involves rest, the use of the ice and of anti-inflammatory drugs and limb elevation. By rest, we mean avoiding loading the joint by not walking on it and using braces to stabilize the ankle. Anti-inflammatories are helpful in relieving pain and swelling, while ice and elevation help restore proper use of the joint. “Is critical minimize immobilisationbeginning physiotherapy treatments and rehabilitation as soon as possible, which includes exercises to be performed on the proprioceptive tablet, which helps to regain foot sensitivity in contact with the ground” says Dr. Pelucchi. In addition to football, ankle sprains are fairly frequent injuries in other contact sports, starting with basketball.
