Abstract: With the improvement of sports technology and the increase in competition intensity, the complexity of sports injuries is becoming increasingly prominent, which puts higher demands on the accuracy of their diagnosis and treatment. This paper focuses on the special issue of ankle anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) injury, and conducts a systematic study from three dimensions: diagnosis, treatment and subsequent efficacy, aiming to sort out and summarize effective treatment processes. The results of this paper indicate that arthroscopy remains the most accurate method in the diagnostic stage, while ultrasound examination can serve as an effective alternative, providing reliable evidence for clinical diagnosis. In terms of treatment, if conservative treatment is adopted, elastic bandaging is the preferred way to fix the ankle joint. In contrast, the combined reconstruction of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) has more advantages - in the long run, this procedure can minimize the risk of patients developing chronic ankle instability, allowing athletes to almost 100% recover to pre-injury exercise levels. This paper analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of various diagnosis and treatment methods, constructs a comprehensive and systematic treatment process, and provides scientific reference for both doctors and patients to choose the most suitable rehabilitation plan. It helps to promote the standardization and personalization of sports injury diagnosis and treatment, and ultimately promotes the efficient rehabilitation of athletes.
