Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has been increasingly used forherapeutic applications in sports-related injuries, and is thought to stimulate tissue healing. We reported a case ofLAS with complete tear of anterior talofibular ligament, which showed complete healing of ligament and early anklestabilization after PRP. The healing is supported by dynamic ultrasound images and magnetic resonance imaging.We therefore proposed that PRP may serve as an alternative non-surgical treatment option in LAS in future research,with the potential to prevent the development of CAI and PTOA.
