Abstract
1. Injuries to the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament without serious fracture are frequent, although very little is to be found bearing on this subject in the literature.
2. If a considerable degree of subluxation accompanies the sprain, disability is prolonged unless adequate treatment is given.
3. Treatment of the acute form by reduction and fixation is described; while a simple operative procedure for cure of the chronic cases is proposed.
