Abstract

Although ankle sprains are probably the most common injury in adolescent sports people, epiphyseal injuries are missed on the presumption of a ligamentous tear. The risk of damaged ligaments has been over-emphasized while the potentially dangerous epiphyseolysis has been understressed. An oblique X-ray of the ankle joint is indicated prior to "stress" pictures.
