【 摘 要 】

Among musculoskeletal injuries, the incidence of ankle sprains is between 15% and 20% of sports injuries.1,2 The ankle is supported laterally by the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) and posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL), whilst the medial aspect is supported by the deltoid ligament.3 Ankle sprains can be either acute sprains, which can be further classified into three grades depending on the severity of the injury, or chronic instability.
