Ankle Braces after ATFL injury
OrthopaedicsandTrauma.com recommend the Rocket Soc® as an off the shelf and cost effective brace for your patients returning to football after ATFL injury and rehabilitation.
OrthopaedicsandTrauma.com refer you to a study that compared recurrence of sprain in female soccer players in the USA: Patients that had a previous ankle sprain received one of four interventions: 1) a canvas, laced ankle brace (n = 19), 2) taping (n = 12), 3) a combination of taping and ankle bracing (n = 8), or 4) no treatment (n = 17). The four intervention groups had a total of 1717 practice exposures and 650 competitive game exposures which is considerable. Ankle sprain recurrence frequency was 0%, 25%, 25%, and 35% for the braced, taped, combination, and untreated groups, respectively. The recurrence incidence for the braced group was significantly lower than that of the other three groups. Therefore, the study group suggested that prophylactic ankle bracing was effective in reducing the incidence of ankle sprains in female soccer players with a previous history of ankle sprains.

Ian Winson, Foot and Ankle Surgeon. and the President of the European Foot and Ankle Society told OrthopaedicsAndTrauma.com that he regularly advised top level athletes to use an ankle support like this after injury or surgery during the stage of rehabilitation where return to competition preceeds full recovery.
