When the ligaments that support the ankle are overstretched or ruptured, an ankle sprain occurs. It can occur when you trip in a hole, twist your ankle when jogging or walking, or unnaturally place your weight on one foot. The foot is inverted, or rotated inward toward the opposing foot, when most ankle sprains occur. Sprained ankles account for 25% of all sports-related injuries. The majority of ankle sprains recover within 4-6 weeks with rest and the right care. But some may require more time. The majority of ankle sprains occur when the foot turns onto its side or when the ankle twists. Most occur during physical activity. But sprains can occur from taking a wrong step or stumbling on the stairs, not just from participating in sports. Doctors do an examination and ask questions regarding the injury to determine whether an ankle sprain has occurred. They will do strength tests, observe the subject's range of motion, and examine the ankle's bones and soft tissues. To determine whether there are any more injuries, such as a fractured bone, the doctor may occasionally request an X-ray or another imaging test.
