Document Summary

Subjective trail ru(cid:374)(cid:374)i(cid:374)g, steps o(cid:374) root, a(cid:374)d (cid:862)rolls a(cid:374)kle(cid:863) immediate pain think she felt a pop: unable to continue. Capsular: pain on palpation (pop) on lateral side of the lower leg, pop anterior/lateral ankle. She is sore on lateral side because they are on strain. 85% lateral, 10% syndesmosis (high ankle injury) and 5% medial. Strength of muscles: bony ankle joint, mortise or talocrural joint. Lateral malleolus is longer and more posterior than medial. Because its longer, it adds lots of stability. Has no muscles that attach to it. With dorsiflexion the wider portion lies between the malleoli. Better the bony fit, less we can reply on dynamic and static stabilizers. Huge surface, and slides up and down the mortise: joint capsule and ligaments, capsule. Thin and weak anteriorly and posteriorly to allow movement. Some ligaments are outside the capsule and some are inside. Atfl weakest of the 3 lateral ligaments. Does(cid:374)"t ha(cid:448)e a (cid:271)o(cid:374)y fit to (cid:271)a(cid:272)k it up.
