Guys,

I had a female 20 years old present to me with a history of ankle(Mainly Lateral) and dorsum of the foot swelling, intermittent in nature. Flat shoes can precipitate the swelling after about 1 hour of activity.
Medical History Unremarkable.
The inciting cause of the the swelling was a traumatic inversion sprain 7 years ago. Treatment at the time was a compression bandage.
An MRI of the ankle a few months later was unremarkable, as reported by the patient.
The patient had previously been supplied with Orthoses which I modified at a previous appointment. The patient reported the modified Orthoses have helped a little to reduce frequency of the swelling.
My question is are we missing something here, should more diagnostic imaging be sought?
Should the ankle be given a full rehab program? I have a vague recollection that the joint capsule can be torn in these cases and therefore they need surgical repair?
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated, the patient is not in any great pain with the ankle, but it is a concern to her when the ankle swells.
