    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Musculoskeletal Injuries

    Background:

    • Sprained ankles are common musculoskeletal injuries.
    • Current treatments include immobilization, protected mobilization, and surgical repair.
    • Management involves diverse medical specialties with varying expertise.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the preferred treatment for severe acute ankle sprains among physicians.
    • To identify variations in treatment preferences across different medical specialties.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was randomly distributed to 500 physicians.
    • Data were collected on preferred treatment modalities for ankle sprains.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Conservative treatment, specifically cast immobilization, is the most preferred method for moderate and severe sprains.
  • Basic care (ice, elevation) and rehabilitation are often neglected.
  • Significant differences in treatment preferences exist between orthopaedic surgery, family practice, and emergency medicine.

    • Conclusions:

    • Physician preferences lean towards conservative management for ankle sprains.
    • There is a need to emphasize and integrate basic care and rehabilitation into sprained ankle treatment protocols.
    • Interdisciplinary communication and standardized care pathways may improve outcomes for ankle sprains.
