Summary:
A sprained ankle may lead to ankle arthritis 20 years later, according to a presentation at the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society
Researchers studied a group of people with ankle arthritis and found 82.5% had suffered a broken ankle many years before and 17.5% had chronic ankle instability and recurrent sprains but no fracture
There is not complete agreement that ankle sprains lead to arthritis
Conclusion: Researchers agree that anyone who sprains an ankle should follow an aggressive rehabilitation and strengthening program to avoid injuring it again
