Abstract
A prospective randomised study was undertaken to compare the results of functional and operative treatment of recent ruptures of the fibular ligament of the ankle in 80 patients, aged from 18 to 45 years, with similar injuries. The best results were obtained from functional treatment and it is to be hoped that early movement and a stable ankle will avoid later osteoarthritis.Entities:
