  • Orthopedics
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • The lateral ankle complex is the most frequently injured anatomical structure in athletes.
  • Ankle sprains represent a substantial portion of athletic injuries, contributing to significant loss of playing time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the high incidence of lateral ankle injuries in athletic populations.
  • To underscore the impact of ankle sprains on athletic participation and performance.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on athletic injuries.
  • Analysis of injury statistics in sports.
  • Epidemiological data examination.

Main Results:

  • Lateral ankle complex injuries constitute 38% to 45% of all athletic injuries.
