Current treatment approaches for ankle ligament injuries: what has changed?

Because of inadequate and unsuccesful management of ankle ligament injuries (ALI), undesired chronic disabilities may unluckily be observed. Treatment of these patients should be planned comprehensively and in detail depending on patient’s diagnosis, injury’s severity and stage. Program should not only be focused on solving the edema. An integrated treatment covering injury’s acute and subacute period and a comprehensive algorithm including an early rehabilitation program would provide better recovery times
