It’s why they take longer to recover from. And so we’re talking about overall integrity and stability of the ankle itself. And that really forms what we call the ankle mortis, which is kind of a roof that goes over the talus of the ankle. It involves the distal tib fib joint, which is the distal ends of our two lower leg bones and there’s a ligament that goes across the top, there’s a couple other ligaments that stabilize that area. The high ankle involves different ligaments altogether. What are the risks associated with having had a high ankle sprain versus a regular ankle sprain? Jeff Stotts: So the regular ankle sprain involves the ligaments on the side of the ankle. But because it was the same mechanism as his original injury, that’s where I think there’s concern of how healthy that ligament is going to be going into Wednesday. I think if this would have been the more classic low-ankle sprain, I probably wouldn’t have been that concerned because he’s shown us he can brush those off. The reason I was concerned that he had tweaked the original injury was that it was the same mechanism as his original high-ankle sprain. So that’s the position that LeBron’s ankle was in when he stepped on Alexander-Walker’s foot. A high-ankle-sprain mechanism occurs when the foot points outwards in what we call external rotation, so the toes are pointed outwards, and the foot sometimes rolls in the opposite direction, so the inside of the ankle goes down closer to the floor. The outer portion of our ankle rolls down closer to the ground. Brian Sutterer: You had to zoom in really close because they didn’t show a good look at it, but a typical, common, low-ankle sprain, a lot of us have probably done ourselves. Can you go over what you saw in the reaggravation in the last game of the season? Dr.
