13 yr old boy w/ankle injury
Bill:
One of the boys I coach, a 13 yr old soccer player, injured his ankle. He rolled it in a hole in my backyard, so I feel partially responsible.
He had an ex-ray of the ankle and saw an orthopedist. The only information provided to him and his parents was "nothing is broken". The ortho told him to refrain from sports for two to three weeks. He is wearing an air cast.
When I asked his parents if PT was suggested or if the ortho was more specific about the injury, they told me he only said "nothing is broken".
I can't call the guy since I am not his parent.
What questions would you ask if your son was in this situation?
I am interested to know what the player can do to prevent a reoccurrence of this injury.
Thx,
BR
