Gumbo Education Nurse Practitioners CEUs Podcast show

Summary: The Ubiquitous Lateral Ankle Sprain - Time to Reconsider Our Management? Ankle sprains are one of the more common musculoskeletal injuries among physically active individuals, but these are not benign injuries. The rate of recurrence, the chronicity of symptoms, and the rising costs of the evaluation and management of lateral ankle sprains should give us pause. Lateral ankle sprains are simultaneously over- and under-treated, creating a burden on the healthcare system.  Rethinking our approach to the management of lateral ankle sprains is important to improving patient outcomes (Newsham, 2019). https://www.npjournal.org/article/S1555-4155(18)31050-X/fulltext (https://www.npjournal.org/article/S1555-4155(18)31050-X/fulltext) 1 Contact Hour(s) of CE Original Program Date: May 1, 2019  Available until May 31, 2020 DO YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF OUR PODCAST?
