torn ankle ligaments…..

(2 discussions)

hiI tore the ankle ligaments in my left ankle playing rugby when I was 17.
I am now 42 and it has been a problem ever since.
I keep injuring the same ankle and it causes me alot of problems and pain.
I wear a laceup ankle brace(mueller or mcdavid) lots of the time.
However I am looking for an ankle brace that will offer me more support laterally.have you any suggestions?
thanksjohn

    I use the ASO ankle brace which seems to work very well. In severe cases, I will make the patient a custom AFO (such as a Richie brace)
