• Ultrasound may not be effective in the treatment of acute ankle sprains Ultrasound for Acute Ankle Sprains.

After surgical reconstruction, early functional rehabilitation may be superior to six weeks immobilisation in restoring early function. There are limitations to the use of dynamic tenodesis as surgical intervention. Interventions for Treating Chronic Ankle Instability
