The management of sprains and strains is not difficult. A history of the mechanism of injury is invaluable in determining what structures might have been injured. Careful examination with particular attention being paid to abnormal motion is essential. Stress x-rays should always be made if there is a question as to whether or not the injury is severe enough to be classified as a third-degree injury. Once the injury has been graded, management presents no particular problem.
