1. Case # 2 Ankle Pain:
Case # 2 Ankle Pain:A 46-year-old female reports pain in both of her ankles, but she is more
concerned about her right ankle. She was playing soccer over the weekend and heard a
“pop.” She is able to bear weight, but it is uncomfortable. In determining the cause of the
ankle pain, based on your knowledge of anatomy, what foot structures are likely involved?
What other symptoms need to be explored? What are your differential diagnoses for ankle
pain? What physical examination will you perform? What special maneuvers will you
perform? Should you apply the Ottawa ankle rules to determine if you need additional
testing?Assignment:Write an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to
which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note. Provide evidence from the
literature to diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different
possible conditions for the patient’s differential diagnosis, and justify why you selected
each.
