Return to Play After a Lateral Ligament Ankle Sprain.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to describe the current evidence on the most common sports-related ankle injuries. Joint anatomy, epidemiology, clinical findings, diagnostic approach, and treatment are presented with a specific focus on the available evidence towards return to play.

Recent Findings: Recent findings show that ankle sprain is the most common injury in the world of sports.

A combined tension-band braided polyester and suture button technique is a valuable treatment alternative for transverse patellar fractures in athletes.

Purpose: Transverse patellar fractures (TPFs) are uncommon in athletes, and their treatment can be challenging. Stable fixation is commonly achieved by compression screw fixation and stainless steel cerclage wire, but this technique can be associated with complications like nonunion, infection and the need for early hardware removal. We used a combined tension-band (figure-of-eight) braided polyester and suture button technique to treat four athletes who presented with transverse patellar fractures.
