Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 high ankle sprains | ATFL, PTFL, ITFL, interosseous ligament, interosseous membrane injuries |
| inversion and plantarflexion | common mechanism of ankle sprains |
| dorsiflexion | loss of ....... is noted with many ankle sprains |
| anterior talofibular ligament | first ligament injured with ankle sprain |
| anterior drawer test | tests anterior talofibular ligament. an abnormal exam would be an asymmetric increased motion or lack of endpoint. |
| talar tilt test | tests integrity of calcaneofibular ligament (usually injured when foot is dorsiflexed and inverted) |
| talus inversion | ATF pulled tight pulls distal fibula anterior proximal fibula moves posterior- becomes locked |
| anterolateral to posteromedial | fibular motion with gait is..... |
| fibroblasts | NSAIDS can inhibit production of ....... which is why they are discouraged for many ankle sprains |
| proprioception | the goal when rehabilitating an ankle sprain is to restore....... |
| swing test | test used to look for talar dysfunction |
| anterior talofibular ligament sprain | NOT a cause of chronic pain after an ankle sprain |
| talar dome fracture | injury to articular cartilage and subchondral bone which can lead to a defect in the talar surface. occassionally a loose body separates and is found within the joint (OCD). if untreated can lead to DJD |
| shepherd's fracture | mechanism is forceful plantar flexion. may be confused with os trigonum. posterior impingment of the ankle. frequently missed fracture and complication is prolonged pain and tendinitis |
| forceful plantar flexion | MOI for shepherd's fracture |
| high ankle sprains | injury of tibiofibular ligaments (injured mortise joint). MOI is forceful external rotation of ankle. pain with WB. LESS swelling than regular ankle sprain |
| external rotation test | detects high ankle sprains or injuries to the anterior or posterior tibiofibular ligaments |
| squeeze test | tests for high ankle sprains. peformed by compressing the tibia and fibula together on the mid leg. pain is felt at the mortise joint of the ankle |
| midfoot sprains | pain in forefoot. twist of midfoot injuries ligaments- also reproduces pain. ligaments that connect navicular, cuboid, cuneiforms to proximal metatarsals. |
| cast | treatment for high ankle sprains (usually 2 weeks) |
| flat soled shoe | treatment for midfoot sprains |
