- CT scan
- Ultrasound
TREATMENT
Treatments for sprain ankle may involve home remedies and surgery like arthroscopy and reconstruction.
Instructions on how to wrap a sprained ankle correctly:
1.Roll up the stretchable gauze if it isn’t already rolled up. Hold your lower leg at around a 90-degree point. Begin where your toes meet the body of your foot. Hold the remaining detail of the wrap along the edge of your foot. Fold the wrap over the wad of your foot once, keeping it to some degree rigid with a light draw.
- After this, gradually begin orbiting your way around the curve of the foot. Draw the wrap askew from the base of the toes over the foot’stop and hover it around the lower leg. Presently bring the gauze corner to corner over the highest point of the foot and under the curve in a figure-eight example.
3.When you get to the lower leg bone, fold the wrap over the felt piece so it remains set up under the lower leg bone. Proceed around the lower leg and foot in a figure eight, advancing toward the impact point on the base and toward the calf at the highest point of the eight.
4.The wrap should cover the whole foot and end at around 7 centimeters over the lower leg. Most pressure wraps are self-affixing or accompany a cut clasp. If not, use tape to anchor the end. The wrap should be cozy, however it should not cut off blood circulation to the foot.
