Understanding Ankle Ligament Injuries
The ankle is supported by several ligaments that help maintain stability. When these ligaments are stretched or torn due to sudden movements, falls, or sports injuries, it can lead to varying degrees of pain, swelling, and instability.
Common Symptoms of Ankle Ligament Injuries:
- Sudden sharp pain at the ankle
- Swelling and bruising
- Difficulty bearing weight

Prompt evaluation and appropriate treatment are essential to ensure proper healing and to prevent chronic ankle problems.
