:( Title: Re: Bit of an Update on Cam Robinson Post by: pmull on October 27, 2014, 04:41:48 PM The dreaded high ankle sprain. It seems common for 2 weeks out to turn into 4 with that injury.

Yeah, I've never seen a quick recovery from a high ankle sprain. I would think he is out 4 weeks, minimum. Title: Re: Bit of an Update on Cam Robinson Post by: ricky023 on October 27, 2014, 04:46:22 PM Please I need help. What is this high ankle sprain and why do we keep coming up with it? Is there any exercise or strengthening thing for it? RTR!

This involves ligaments, so the severity of the ligament tear or strain must be variable. I don't stay at Holiday Inns, so I'm fishing for help here. :unsure: :unsure: Title: Re: Bit of an Update on Cam Robinson Post by: cbbama99 on October 27, 2014, 05:37:12 PM The dreaded high ankle sprain.

By the way, I am not sure the word "bit" is the correct word to use when discussing Cam. Title: Re: Bit of an Update on Cam Robinson Post by: Bamaphile on October 27, 2014, 06:55:32 PM I once heard that a high ankle sprain can be worse than a clean break. I don't know why, though. I'm just guessing that it's easier to immobilize bones so that they can mend than it is to try to get someone to not move their leg at all so that a sprain would heal faster.

Here ya' go: http://www.aofas.org/footcaremd/conditions/ailments-of-the-ankle/Pages/High-Ankle-Sprain.aspx All you ever wanted to know about high ankle sprains (and then some, probably). This part is not very encouraging: Quote As mentioned above, the recovery for high ankle sprains can take considerably longer than typical ankle sprains. In fact, it can take six to seven weeks before athletes return to play. Title: Re: Bit of an Update on Cam Robinson Post by: N.AL-Tider on October 27, 2014, 07:05:46 PM Please I need help.

By clean break, I was referring to a simple fracture, as opposed to something where there are surgical issues involved. Quote Myth: A broken bone is worse than a sprain. Fact: In many cases that’s true, but some sprains, particularly high ankle sprains, can be more severe and take longer to heal than some simple fractures. A high ankle sprain can leave you on the sidelines for six to eight weeks. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=8&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CFIQFjAH&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.baylorhealth.com%2FSiteCollectionDocuments%2FBaylorhealth111sprainsankles.pdf&ei=tOZOVMD3O-fCsATtpYGwDQ&usg=AFQjCNFXD0xZ2rlJN7M1uQcdOoR-1PRFbw&sig2=JY_N1cA2wS2guzY4MjtD4Q&bvm=bv.77880786,d.cWc Title: Re: Bit of an Update on Cam Robinson Post by: Catch Prothro on October 27, 2014, 08:31:25 PM I once heard that a high ankle sprain can be worse than a clean break.

It may take several months for you to stop limping while you walk, and before you can return to sports at your previous competitive level. Most people return to driving within 9 to 12 weeks from the time they were injured. I think the Baylor site is marketing treatment of ankle sprains, but the use of "some simple fractures" seems somewhat disingenuous. Ligaments usually do take longer to heal than some simple fracture, and that might have been the point they were making. |
