Early mobilization versus cast in the treatment of lateral ankle sprains

Öz

Lateral ankle sprains or inversion injuries are frequently seen in athletes and also in general population. They approximately account for 90% of all ankle sprains. Lateral ankle sprains are very common injuries, despite this no single method of treatment has been accepted. In grade 2 injuries cast is frequently applied for three weeks. We tried to find out if cast application is proper for treatment of G2 lateral ankle sprains. Forty-two patients with a lateral ankle sprain were randomly selected for one of two treatment groups. The early mobilization group received an elastic bandage and no weightbearing was allowed for 2 days. Patients in the immobilization group were placed in a cast for 3 weeks. Follow-up evaluations were performed at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 9 weeks and average 6 months after the initial injury. Pain, swelling, echymosis, instability were reviewed. Patients in the early mobilisation group had less pain at 3 weeks. 2 patients (%9) in the immobilization group resprained their ankles. 12 days after the injury, all the patients in the early mobilization group were able to return full work. We conclude that in first time G2 ankle sprains, early mobilization allows earlier return to work and well tolerated for patients.
