Episode 87: Case Study #12: A 25-Year-Old Male Presenting with Ankle Injury - a podcast by Operation Podcast
from 2022-02-14T08:00:55
A 25-year-old man presents to your office on a Monday morning with ankle pain. He was playing in his usual Saturday afternoon basketball game when he injured his right ankle. He says that he jumped for a rebound and landed on another player's foot. His right ankle "rolled over," he fell to the floor, and his ankle immediately started to hurt. He did not hear or feel a pop. He was able to stand and walk in spite of rest, icing, and elevation. He suffered no other injury from the fall.
On examination, he is a healthy appearing man with normal vital signs. The lateral aspect of his right ankle is swollen. The right ankle has normal dorsiflexion and plantar flexion and there is no focal tenderness to palpation of the fibula, malleoli, or foot. No ligamentous laxity is noted on testing. He can bear weiht with minimal pain. There is normal sensation and capillary refill in the foot. The remainder of his examination is normal.
