What is an Ankle Sprain?
-
The ankle joint has 3 ligaments on the outside and 5 ligaments on the inside which help to connect the bones that form the ankle together.
​

The ligaments on the inside of the ankle are typically very strong and hard to injure, whilst the ligaments on the inside are commonly injured in over 95% of ankle injury's reported
​
-
An ankle sprain is an injury to one or more ligaments in the ankle, usually on the outside of the ankle. Ligaments are bands of tissue like rubber bands—that connect one bone to another and bind the joints together. In the ankle joint, ligaments provide stability by limiting side-to-side movement.
How is it commonly injured?
-
Sprained ankles often result from a fall, a sudden twist or a blow that forces the ankle joint out of its normal position.
​
-
Ankle sprains commonly occur while participating in sports, wearing inappropriate shoes or walking or running on an uneven surface.
​
-
Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries to the lower leg.
