The epidemiology of sprains in the lateral ankle and foot was investigated in a prospective study at the casualty ward at Hillerød County Hospital. During one year, 766 patients were registered. The overall sprain incidence was 7/1000 person-years. The incidence was highest for young males. After the age of 40 years, the incidence was higher for women than for men. Most sprains were sustained during sport, but, with increasing age, other activities became dominant. Sixty-one percent of the lesions were located around the lateral ankle, and 24% were located on the lateral midfoot.
在希勒勒德县医院急诊病房进行的一项前瞻性研究中，对踝关节外侧和足部扭伤的流行病学情况进行了调查。在一年时间里，共登记了766例患者。总体扭伤发病率为每1000人年7例。年轻男性的发病率最高。40岁以后，女性的发病率高于男性。大多数扭伤发生在运动期间，但随着年龄增长，其他活动成为主要原因。61%的损伤位于踝关节外侧周围，24%位于足外侧中部。
