Abstract:
Sprains of the lateral ligamentous structures of the ankle joint as a result of inversion are common and frequently result in pain. In most cases, the pain is related to soft-tissue injury and the associated hemorrhage and swelling. This case report describes the complication of posttraumatic false aneurysm of the peroneal artery following an inversion ankle sprain in a 22-year-old athlete, a complication which should be added to the differential diagnosis as a rare, but important possibility. Emphasis of the case report is placed on the rehabilitation of the patient following medical intervention.
