Ankle sprain refers to the stretching or tearing of the ankle ligaments, usually as a result of sudden over stretching. They can occur on either or both of the ligaments on the inside or outside of the ankle joint.
Ankle sprains often happen when there’s a history of ankle or foot injury or when there is pre-existing bio-mechanical fault of the ankle or foot. An injury typically occurs when the ankle is suddenly twisted during sports or by stepping off an uneven surface. X rays or MRI scans are often useful tools to diagnose the extent of the ankle and foot injury.
