High Ankle Sprain (Syndesmosis Injury): Grade II Instability Assessment and Prognosis (ptpodcast.com)

• Grade I: conservative, no surgery; Grade III: always surgical.
• Grade II instability predictors guide operative decision.
• Return to sport: stable 6-8 weeks, unstable 3-4 months.

"This podcast discusses high ankle sprains (syndesmosis injuries), focusing on Grade II injuries. It explores predictors of syndesmotic instability and return-to-sport outcomes.
