There seems to be a plague of high ankle sprains in football (especially college football) recently. A high ankle sprain is one where the two bones of the lower leg get separated unnaturally. This is a fairly new, or rather, newly distinguished type of sprain, since you didn’t hear about them until the last couple years.
My question is who figured out what the high ankle sprain was and when did they do it?

Rescuing from page 3. I’d like to have more than 17 views of this question before consigning it to oblivion…
I’ll bump this one time, too. I’ve also wondered what a high ankle sprain is and why they seem to be plaguing football now, yet were unheard of a few years ago.
I’m not a doctor, nor do I play one on T.V., but my WAG is that perhaps the medical personnel are now distinguishing it from your garden-variety ankle sprain, when before they were lumped together as one.
