摘要: Ankle sprains are one of the most common sports injuries [1], accounting for 10% to 15% these [2]. The severity injury varies greatly and player’s recovery time is related structures involved their degree damage. In contrast soft tissue reported in many clinical studies on ankle, experimental have typically generated a high frequency bone fracture when foot/ankle complex externally rotated [3–5]. majority manuscripts, cadaveric test specimens advanced or unknown age. These variables may substantially affect both failure load mode joint, since ankle occur people under age 35 years [6].© 2009 ASME
