Sports injuries of the foot and ankle happen in various ways that include the twisting of the ankle during an activity, landing incorrectly, or taking the wrong step.
If you have a foot deformity or have muscle weakness in your foot or ankle, you may be more prone to injuring your ligaments. Repeated ankle twisting may be due to chronic ligament instability and can lead to more severe injuries. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are key factors in your return to full function.
