“…The most common injury to ankle in rugby player is lateral ankle sprain with 25% having anterior talofibular ligament tear (Sankey et al 2008;Kaux et al 2015). According to earlier reports, syndesmotic injuries, ankle sprains, degenerative injuries, Achilles tendon injuries and deltoid ligament sprains were the next most common match injuries (Sankey et al 2008).…”

ABSTRAK ABSTRACTAnkle injuries are commonly seen in various sports. The main aim of the present review was to highlight the normal anatomy of the ankle, mechanism of injuries related to sports, congenital abnormalities or anatomical variations related to ankle injury and discuss its effective management. A review of literature was done to determine the ankle injuries which occur as a result of various sports related activities. We documented all sports which involved injury to the ankle joint. The anatomy of various structures in the sole of foot and their involvement in injuries were discussed at length. The anatomical knowledge of ankle injury may be beneficial for future diagnosis and treatment purpose.

“…Previous studies have estimated that approximately 25% of sports injuries are ankle injuries (Fong et al, 2007). Even in rugby, which has a higher risk of injury than other sports, the ankle joint is cited as one of the sites with a high incidence of injury (Kaux et al, 2015;Yeomans et al, 2018). It was also reported that 17.5% of all injuries sustained by Japanese collegiate rugby players affected the ankle joint (Ogaki et al, 2020).…”

Background: Rugby is a high risk of injury to the ankle, but epidemiological data on ankle injury is limited to specific competition levels and generations. This study aimed to clarify the epidemiological characteristics of ankle sprain by longitudinally investigating the incidence, severity and burden of ankle sprains in men's collegiate rugby players. Methods: The study recorded ankle sprains in rugby matches and training across three seasons from 2017 to 2019, investigating 128 male collegiate rugby players.Results: The incidence of ankle sprain was 1.21 injuries/1000 Player-hours (1000 PHs), and the risk of occurrence during matches (18.18 injuries/1000 PHs) was 25.6 times higher than during training (0.71 injuries/1000 PHs). Thus, it was thought that reducing the incidence of ankle sprains during matches would contribute greatly to reducing the loss of competition time due to injury of team members. The results suggested that the main injury mechanism was related to contact play and steps, and that contact skills and physical fitness characteristics were also involved in the risk of sprains. The incidence of ankle sprains in collegiate rugby players was higher than that reported in a previous study on professional-level players, and the rate of initial sprains was high in this study. Conclusions: This suggests that prevention of ankle sprains is important in university age rugby players.

BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to explore the views of professional rugby union players during the early rehabilitation, late rehabilitation and return to play stages, following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.MethodsA qualitative dominant, mixed methodological approach was utilized with five players who had suffered an ACL injury requiring reconstructive surgery. A longitudinal approach, concurrent with each player’s rehabilitation, consisting of twice monthly interviews, a self-report diary and three established questionnaires (MOS-Social Support Survey, Sherbourne & Stewart, 1991; Sport Climate Questionnaire, Deci & Ryan, n.d.; Injury Rehabilitation Questionnaire, Deci & Ryan, n.d.) were completed.ResultsTheoretical thematic analysis was conducted on three distinct phases (Early Limited Participation phase, 10 higher order themes; Late Limited Rehabilitation phase, 11 higher order themes; and Return to Play phase, 9 higher order themes) and coded relating to autonomy, competence and relatedness.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that increased autonomy and control assist emotional and behavioral responses during rehabilitation and return to play, while development of competence increases self-confidence.
