Abstract
Even for severe ankle sprains the non-operative, functional treatment is the therapy of choice. The prognosis is good: persisting symptoms and instability are rare and the outcome seems to be independent of initial therapy. An indication for primary operation is an exception. In case of remaining symptoms the patient should be referred to an orthopedic surgeon for further diagnostic studies (MRI) and possibly secondary operative stabilization.
