Ankle sprains are one of the most common injuries that can occur during sports or everyday activities. If left untreated ankle sprains can lead to long term damage that may require surgical intervention.
What gets injured in an ankle sprain?
- The typical structure that is sprained is the ATFL a ligament that holds your outside ankle stable on the rest of the foot
- Other structures can involve ligaments on the inside of the ankle, across the front and intricate ligaments that stabilise the tarsals(small bones) of the foot.
- Fractures are possible and can vary from very small fragments of bone, hairline fractures and those requiring a rigid boot and/or surgery
- The amount of damage done depends on the number of fibres snapped in the ligaments affected
