Strain, not sprain

Is a foot sprain what we used to call an ankle sprain?

NOT a foot doctor but would imagine this is much more in the area of plantar fasciitis/arch sprains than ankle related

Is a foot sprain what we used to call an ankle sprain?

Nope. I got a couple of those playing rugby back in the day. I could run straight ahead, but forget about cutting or pushing off quickly.
” A foot sprain is a stretching or tearing of the ligaments that connect the bones of the foot. A foot strain is a stretching or tearing of the tendons and muscles in the foot. If it is painful to put weight on your foot, your provider may give you a splint or crutches to use while your foot heals. Most minor-to-moderate injuries will heal within 2 to 4 weeks. More severe injuries, such as injuries that need a cast or a boot, will need a longer time to heal, up to 6 to 8 weeks.”

Don't rush him back. My daughter's teammate was wearing a boot, came back and practiced once and now she's back in a boot for three weeks

Thanks, wasn't familiar with foot strains, but I've had numerous ankle sprains and I'm an expert on those.

Correct, nobody uses the term “ankle” anymore

Is it not politically correct? Or are you just trying to make me feel old?

Not sure a foot strain is the same as an ankle sprain. The problem with foot strains is that they will feel better but there is still underlying structural issues. Unfortunately with a person as tall and large as DC this can be serious. The problem becomes there is no way to tell sometimes if the strain is completely healed but then as soon as the athlete goes full out you just don’t know. He is young so we will hope for the best. But this is not good news because his conditioning is going to suffer and that is a problem. With a month off that puts us at one week before the season opener so he is going to be way behind by the time his is ready.

They are two different things. An ankle is still an ankle and a foot is still a foot.

As long as I don't see the words 'metatarsal' or 'Lisfranc' I could not care less. Get him on the court for the first exhibition and be done with it.

Cue the DOOM LOOP.

That is what I was saying. I get that. But a strain is related to tendons which connect muscles to bones. That is why these strains can linger or lead to stress fractures. In reality a foot sprain would be better than a strain. Strain just sounds better but in this case that is not true.

Sure they do.

I wasn’t disagreeing with you. Someone else posted that they were the same and that no one uses the term “ankle sprain” anymore.

I think it’s safe to say that the staff will take a cautious approach with their star player. If he’s cleared before opening day then let him loose to wreak havoc. If not ready by then, then it’s time for the bench to step up and cover for him.
Much like when AJ missed time during last years preseason and early games, it may end up being valuable minutes for the front court bench guys which could pay dividends later in the year.

 

[Dove]

Now he can stay in Maine a bit longer.

 

[Dove]

Is a foot sprain what we used to call an ankle sprain?

No. It could be an arch issue if they're going with "strain.' Or, he irritated the ball of his foot by taking all those treys in practice.

I want to say it was a joke, but if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there, does it make a sound?

 

[Secure Dog]

Well now Samson will get to run with the first team during the entire preseason prep time. I think that should help his confidence. And Singare should see time during practice with the first team. If Clingan heals and this injury does not linger this could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Gotta use the /s.
