Summary

Our aim was to evaluate the effects of topical analgesic drugs on rapid recovery of joint functions and pain relief in acute ankle injuries.

A total of 100 patients were included in the study and divided into 2 groups as Diclofenac and Etofenamate. The pain scores of the patients were evaluated with the Numeric Rating scale and Wong-Baker scale before and after treatment. Dorsiflexion and plantarflexion active joint movements were measured with a hand-held goniometer for joint function before and after treatment.

We found that ankle sprains were more common in men. In our study, we found that both topical analgesics were effective in improving joint movements and reducing pain.
