Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Classification of these injuries is based on examination; radiographs are often not required to guide management. The most common mechanism is an inversion stress that injures, in order, the anterior talofibular, calcaneofibular, and posterior talofibular ligaments. The medial deltoid is the strongest ligament; therefore, isolated injuries are rare, and medial ankle sprains are often associated with lateral malleolar or syndesmotic injuries.
