  • Title: Return to play after an ankle sprain: guidelines for the podiatric physician.
    Author: Richie DH, Izadi FE.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 2015 Apr; 32(2):195-215. PubMed ID: 25804710.
    Abstract:
    The ankle sprain is the most common injury in sport and has a high incidence of long-term disability. This disability may be partly due to early return to sport before ligament healing has been completed. The podiatric physician can follow sound guidelines for making a return-to-play decision for athletes suffering from an ankle sprain. The decision-making process requires the podiatric physician to monitor the rehabilitation process and then administer patient self-reported questionnaires as well as functional performance tests to assess the status of ankle function after injury.
