Good protective devices are available which will prevent or reduce the severity of ankle sprains. If an injury to the lateral ligaments of the ankle--an ankle sprain--is sustained, functional treatment with early tape support, followed by a plastic support device will return the vast majority of the injured athletes to competition rapidly and with a stable ankle. In a few cases, surgical repair is the most appropriate treatment to return the individual to his chosen endeavor with a stable ankle.
有一些很好的防护装置可以预防或减轻脚踝扭伤的严重程度。如果发生了脚踝外侧韧带损伤——即脚踝扭伤，早期使用胶带支撑进行功能治疗，随后使用塑料支撑装置，绝大多数受伤的运动员都能迅速恢复比赛，且脚踝保持稳定。在少数情况下，手术修复是使患者以稳定的脚踝恢复其所选运动项目的最合适治疗方法。
