Ankle injuries are common and can occur due to various reasons, such as sports activities, falls, or awkward landings. The most frequent types include sprains, fractures, and strains. A sprain happens when the ligaments that connect bones are stretched or torn, while a fracture involves a break in the bone. Symptoms of ankle injuries often include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking. Treatment typically involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation, known as the RICE method. In more severe cases, medical intervention may be necessary, including physical therapy or surgery to restore function and stability.
