Mechanoreceptors in ligaments and joint capsule, particularly the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), may be damaged during ankle sprain (Freeman, 1965; Saunders, 1980; Renstrom and Konradsen, 1997).
The three major ligaments that help to stop the ankle from rolling forward and outward are the anterior talofibular ligament, the posterior talofibular ligament and the calcaneofibular ligament.
Type I is a simple fracture that extends from the articular surface of the posterior talocalcaneal joint space to the talofibular articular surface (as observed in the case reported here) and can be treated with casting; internal fixation is usually reserved for fragments >1 cm or fragment displacement[greater than or equal to] 2 mm.
