High Ankle Sprain: Definition, Uses, and Clinical Overview
A High Ankle Sprain is a ligament injury of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis above the ankle joint. It is a **condition** that affects ankle stability, especially during twisting and push-off activities. It is commonly evaluated in sports medicine, emergency care, and orthopedic clinics after an ankle injury. It is clinically important because it can behave differently than a typical lateral ankle sprain.
