ð There are three lateral ligaments
predominantly responsible for the support
and maintenance of bone apposition (best
possible fit). These ligaments prevent
inversion of the foot.
ð These ligaments are:
ƛ Anterior talofibular ligament
ƛ Calcaneofibular ligament
ƛ Posterior talofibular ligament

ð There are 4 compartments that make
up the lower leg that operate the
motions of the ankle.
ð Injury can cause swelling inside these
compartments that can lead to tissue
death or nerve damage.

ð History
ƛ Past history
ƛ Mechanism of injury
ƛ When does it hurt?
ƛ Type of, quality of, duration of pain?
ƛ Sounds or feelings?
ƛ How long were you disabled?
ƛ Swelling?
ƛ Previous treatments?
ð èbservations
ƛ Postural deviations?
ƛ Is there difficulty with walking?
ƛ Deformities, asymmetries or swelling?
ƛ Color and texture of skin, heat, redness?
ƛ Patient in obvious pain?
ƛ Is range of motion normal?
ƛ Percussion and compression tests
ð Used when fracture is suspected
ð Percussion test is a blow to the tibia, fibula or
heel to create vibratory force that resonates
w/in fracture causing pain
ð Compression test involves compression of tibia
and fibula either above or below site of concern
ƛ Thompson test
ð Squeeze calf muscle, while foot is extended off
table to test the integrity of the Achilles tendon
ƛ Positive tests results in no movement in the foot
ƛ Homanƞs test
ð Test for deep vein thrombophlebitis
ð With knee extended and foot off table, ankle is
moved into dorsiflexion
ð Pain in calf is a positive sign and should be
referred
O
ƛ Kleigerƞs test
ð Used primarily to determine extent of damage
to the deltoid ligament and may be used to
evaluate distal ankle syndesmosis,
anterior/posterior tibiofibular ligaments and the
interosseus membrane
ð With lower leg stabilized, foot is rotated
laterally to stress the deltoid
ƛ Medial Subtalar Glide Test
ð Performed to determine presence of excessive
medial translation of the calcaneus on the talus
ð Talus is stabilized in subtalar neutral, while
other hand glides the calcaneus, medially
ð A positive test presents with excessive
movement, indicating injury to the lateral
ligaments
r
ð Functional Tests
ƛ While weight bearing the following should
be performed
ð Walk on toes (plantar flexion)
ð Walk on heels (dorsiflexion)
ð Return to activity in 7-
7-10 days
ð Grade 2 Inversion Ankle Sprain
ƛ Etiology
ð Moderate inversion force causing great deal of
disability with many days of lost time
ƛ Signs and Symptoms
ð Feel or hear pop or snap; moderate pain w/
difficulty bearing weight; tenderness and
edema
ð Positive talar tilt and anterior drawer tests
)
ð Etiology
ƛ Bony protection and
ligament strength
decreases likelihood
of injury
ƛ Eversion force
results in damage to
deltoid ligament and
possibly fx of the
fibula
ƛ Deltoid can also be
impinged and
contused with
