Article Synopsis
- * Eighty-one patients with type II and III ankle sprains participated, being split into a control group (treatment only) and a study group (treatment plus venotonic). Measurements of ankle swelling and pain were taken at multiple points.
- * The results showed no significant differences in swelling or pain levels between the two groups, indicating that venotonic drugs do not enhance recovery following moderate to severe ankle sprains.

Post-reduction radiographs, before open repair of the deltoid ligament, revealed an Elisé test ratio of 0.43.
