Abstract

Ankle sprains are among the most prevalent musculoskeletal injuries, affecting individuals across all age groups and activity levels. Effective management of ankle sprains begins with accurate diagnosis, which includes a thorough history-taking, physical examination, and often radiographic evaluation to rule out fractures or other associated injuries.
