Damage to the ankle ligaments can occur during an ankle sprain, and these are the most common ligaments in our body that are exposed to this type of damage. In the ankle joint we distinguish 3 main ligaments:
- anterior ankle-fibula ligament (ATFL),
- posterior ankle-fibula ligament (PTFL),
- calcaneal-fibula ligament (CFL).
When a child during a fall, impact or improper position of the foot on the ground, exceeds the range of physiological mobility of the ankle joint, then a sprain occurs. Then, there is excessive stretching and often tearing or complete rupture of the soft tissues of the joint, i.e. ligaments and joint capsule. The child feels tremendous pain, the ankle swells, and the position of the foot and the attempt to load it borders on a miracle. In this case, there is nothing to wait for and it is necessary to immobilize the ankle joint. The doctor may order a traditional heavy plaster cast or prescribe a light, anatomically profiled children’s
ankle orthosis
