abstract="We found no reports of ankle fracture management in professional football players in the orthopedic literature. In this small series of ankle fractures in professional football players, all 3 had the same pronation-external rotation injury pattern. Given the high demands placed on the ankle by these professional athletes, we chose to use a 4.5-mm screw for fixation of the syndesmosis and a 3.5-mm reconstruction plate for fibular fixation to provide the most stable fixation. All 3 athletes were able to return to preinjury levels of athletic participation in the NFL without residual pain or stiffness.  Keywords: American football; <p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
