Q

17F athlete 2 days s/p inversion ankle injury during a soccer game. Moderate ecchymosis and swelling about lateral ankle. Able to limp off field immediately after the injury and ambulates into clinic using arm support of her father with significant antalgic gait with early heel off, reduced WB, and shortened stance time of the involved side. Objectively, has pain with ROM in all planes, most notably into PF and inversion. DF of approximately 2˚ on involved side, 12˚ on uninvolved.

Pt has ttp of ATFL and CFL, no ttp at base of 5th met, malleoli, or navicular bone. Anterior drawer, talar tilt reveals pain and laxity.

Based on the above and best current evidence, what tx is recommended at this time?

A. Dispense axillary crutches and recommend ambulation as tolerated
B. AP mobs and ankle pumps
C. Cryocuff and pulsed US
D. Lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and OTC NSAIDs for inflammatory reduction

A
