Understanding ankle sprain
An ankle sprain is a stretch or tear of the ligaments that support the ankle, generally after twisting the foot. It is one of the most common holiday injuries.
Causes and risk factors
Uneven paths, steps, slippery floors, soft sand and poor footwear lead to a rolled ankle, and sport, hikes, dancing and flip-flops increase the chance.
