To study the incidence of fibulocollateral ligament ankle sprains in the young male athlete, a survey of 84 varsity basketball players was done. Seventy percent of the players had a history of an ankle sprain. Eighty percent of those with a positive history had multiple sprains. Most of the injuries were mild, but in 32% of the injuries, the athlete missed more than 2 weeks of play. No medical attention was sought in 55% of the cases. About 50% of the athletes with a sprain had residual symptoms from their injuries; 15% of the injured athletes felt that their residual symptoms compromised their playing performance. This article emphasizes the potential seriousness of the ankle sprain in the young athlete and presents a recommended method of management, including assessment of severity, treatment, and rehabilitation.
为研究年轻男性运动员腓侧副韧带踝关节扭伤的发生率，对84名大学篮球运动员进行了一项调查。70%的运动员有踝关节扭伤史。有阳性病史的运动员中，80%有多次扭伤。大多数损伤为轻度，但在32%的损伤中，运动员缺赛超过2周。55%的病例未寻求医疗救治。约50%的扭伤运动员有损伤后的残留症状；15%的受伤运动员认为他们的残留症状影响了比赛表现。本文强调了年轻运动员踝关节扭伤的潜在严重性，并提出了一种推荐的处理方法，包括严重程度评估、治疗和康复。
