Abstract
Functional treatment of injured joints is increasing since the introdu ction of semi-rigid plaster. Injuries to the ligaments of the ankle jo int, ruptured Achilles tendon, but also other joints with injured liga ments are suitable for this therapy. We report about our experience of 120 treated ligamental injuries of the ankle joint, treated in a cons ervative way with semi-rigid plasters.
