ankle injuries in football based on an analysis of videorecordings of injuries from Norwegian and Icelandic elitefootball. A main finding was—as expected—that mostinjuries resulted from inversion trauma. However, in mostcases involving player-to-player contact, accounting forabout half of all injuries, the indirect cause of injuryappeared to be contact to the medial aspect of the lower legor ankle. Most likely, this laterally directed force did notproduce the injury itself but caused the player to land withthe ankle in a vulnerable, inverted position. The othermain finding was that we observed four cases in which theinjured player hit the opponent’s foot with a full-force kick,resulting in forced plantar flexion of the ankle. This mechanismmay explain the condition dubbed footballer’s ankle.
