A sprain results from the stretching and/or tearing of the stabilizing ligaments of the ankle as a result of a force causing the ankle to move beyond its normal range of motion. The most commonly seen ankle sprain is an inversion ankle sprain, which occurs when the ankle is rolled in. The ligaments that are affected are the ATFL, CFL and PTFL. The ligaments are on the outside portion of the ankle and attach the fibula (outer leg bone) to the foot.  |
