Ankle Sprain/Strain
A joint sprain is the overstretching or tearing of ligaments. Ligaments are the bands of tissue that connect two bones in a joint. The most common location for
Ankle injuries are defined by the kind of damaged tissue — bone, ligament, or tendon –. The ankle is where three bones meet — the tibia and fibula of your lower leg with the talus of your foot. These bones are held together at the ankle joint by ligaments, which are strong elastic bands of connective tissue that keep the bones in place while allowing normal ankle motion. Tendons attach muscles to the bones to make the ankle and foot move and help keep the joints stable.
