PS. In the episode I referred to some stats and facts around lateral ankles injuries.

To read more check out these links...

40% of people develop chronic ankle instability

Repeated sprains and potential long-term and disabling conditions

After an ankle sprain, reaction time is delayed.

Evidence suggests that delaying rehab (>4 weeks) after the initial injury significantly increases risk of ankle instability later.

A large study (195,000+ patients) found that among people with ankle sprain, a modest but significant proportion developed ankle OA over time.

Structural changes to the ankle (inc joint/bony injury) are often evident on imaging, even after low-moderate grade lateral ankle sprains, suggesting tissue and joint changes happen earlier than might be assumed.
