Course Description:

There will be approximately 1 million ankle injuries this year alone. A third to two thirds of those injuries will experience continued problems or repeat injuries. Are we doing enough to help them? Are we missing the differential diagnosis and instead just treating an average ankle sprain? What role could prevention play?
