الوصف: | AbstractBackground Ankle sprains are the most common sports-related injuries. Individuals with time-loss ankle sprains often experience residual symptoms and chronic ankle instability years after injury. Up to 90% of post-traumatic ankle osteoarthritis cases are associated with severe ankle sprain. This study aimed to examine whether ankle injury severity sustained during youth sports participation is associated with ankle symptoms and function.Materials and Methods Cohort study included 50 young adults (mean age, 23 years) with a 3-to 15-year history of a youth-sport related ‘significant ankle sprain’ (SAS). The primary independent variable was injury severity, which was captured in the index SAS injury details through interviews. SAS was defined as ligament and other intra/extra-articular structure injuries that disrupted youth sport participation, at least 3 days of time loss, and required medical consultation. Severe SAS was defined as SAS involving >28 days of time loss, and non-severe SAS only involved ankle ligaments and/or with ≤28 days of time loss. The Foot and Ankle Outcome Score questionnaire was used to assess ankle symptoms and function. Descriptive statistics and multivariable linear regression models were used to examine the association between SAS severity and outcomes, with sex and time since injury as covariates.Results Compared to participants with non-severe SAS, participants with a history of severe SAS demonstrated significantly poorer outcomes in symptoms [-18.4 (99% CI: −32.2 to −4.6)], pain [-10.1 (99% CI: −19.2 to −1.1)] and QoL [-17.1 (99% CI: −33.1 to −1.1)] in multivariable linear regression models.Conclusions Severe ankle sprain with a loss of > 4 weeks from sports participation at the time of injury is independently associated with poorer ankle symptoms, pain, and ankle-related quality of life after 3–15 years. Secondary prevention measures are needed in individuals with a history of severe ankle sprains to mitigate the potential health consequences. |
