Lateral ankle sprains (LASs) are the most prevalent musculoskeletal injury in physically active populations. They also have a high prevalence in the general population and pose a substantial healthcare burden. The recurrence rates of LASs are high, leading to a large percentage of patients with LAS developing chronic ankle instability. This chronicity is associated with decreased physical activity levels and quality of life and associates with increasing rates of post-traumatic ankle osteoarthritis, all of which generate financial costs that are larger than many have realised. The literature review that follows expands this paradigm and introduces emerging areas that should be prioritised for continued research, supporting a companion position statement paper that proposes recommendations for using this summary of information, and needs for specific future research.
外侧踝关节扭伤（LAS）是运动人群中最常见的肌肉骨骼损伤。在普通人群中，它也有很高的发病率，给医疗保健带来了很大的负担。LAS 的复发率很高，导致很大一部分 LAS 患者发展为慢性踝关节不稳定。这种慢性疾病与活动水平和生活质量下降有关，并与创伤后踝关节骨关节炎的发生率增加有关，所有这些都产生了比许多人意识到的更大的经济成本。接下来的文献综述扩展了这一模式，并介绍了新兴领域，这些领域应该优先进行持续研究，为一份配套的立场声明文件提供支持，该文件提出了使用这一信息摘要的建议和对特定未来研究的需求。
