ACUTE ANKLE SPRAIN<br />
An ankle sprain occurs when the foot suddenly twists or rolls and forces the<br />
ankle out of its normal position. In addition to pain, you may experience swelling,<br />
bruising, and additional discomfort when you try to put weight on your foot.<br />
There are several levels of ankle sprain:<br />
Grade I Sprain (Mild)<br />
• Slight stretching and microscopic tearing of the ligament fibers<br />
• Mild tenderness and swelling around the ankle<br />
Grade II Sprain (Moderate)<br />
• Partial tearing of the ligament<br />
• Moderate tenderness and swelling around the ankle<br />
• When the ankle moves in certain ways, there is an abnormal looseness<br />
of the ankle joint<br />
Grade III Sprain (Severe)<br />
• Complete tear of the ligament<br />
• Significant tenderness and swelling around the ankle<br />
