 Sprained Ankle
is an injury that occurs when you roll, twist or turn your ankle in an
awkward way. This can stretch or tear the tough bands of tissue
(ligaments) that help hold your ankle bones together. Ligaments help
stabilize joints, preventing excessive movement. A sprained ankle occurs
when the ligaments are forced beyond their normal range of motion. Most
sprained ankles involve injuries to the ligaments on the outer side of
the ankle. Treatment for a sprained ankle depends on the severity of the
injury. Although self-care measures and over-the-counter pain
medications may be all you need, a medical evaluation might be necessary
to reveal how badly you've sprained your ankle and to determine the
appropriate treatment. Signs and symptoms of a sprained ankle vary depending on the severity of the injury. They may include: Pain, especially when you bear weight on the affected foot Tenderness when you touch the ankle Swelling Bruising Restricted range of motion Instability in the ankle Popping sensation or sound at the time of injury
A
sprain occurs when your ankle is forced to move out of its normal
position, which can cause one or more of the ankle's ligaments to
stretch, partially tear or tear completely. Causes of a sprained ankle might include: A fall that causes your ankle to twist Landing awkwardly on your foot after jumping or pivoting Walking or exercising on an uneven surface Another person stepping or landing on your foot during a sports activity
Factors that increase your risk of a sprained ankle include: Sports participation.
Ankle sprains are a common sports injury, particularly in sports that
require jumping, cutting action, or rolling or twisting of the foot such
as basketball, tennis, football, soccer and trail running. Uneven surfaces. Walking or running on uneven surfaces or poor field conditions may increase the risk of an ankle sprain. Prior ankle injury. Once you've sprained your ankle or had another type of ankle injury, you're more likely to sprain it again. Poor physical condition. Poor strength or flexibility in the ankles may increase the risk of a sprain when participating in sports. Improper shoes.
Shoes that don't fit properly or aren't appropriate for an activity, as
well as high-heeled shoes in general, make ankles more vulnerable to
injury.
The following tips can help you prevent a sprained ankle or a recurring sprain: Warm up before you exercise or play sports. Be careful when walking, running or working on an uneven surface. Use an ankle support brace or tape on a weak or previously injured ankle. Wear shoes that fit well and are made for your activity. Minimize wearing high-heeled shoes. Don't play sports or participate in activities for which you are not conditioned. Maintain good muscle strength and flexibility. Practice stability training, including balance exercises.
Treatment
for a sprained ankle depends on the severity of your injury. The
treatment goals are to reduce pain and swelling, promote healing of the
ligament, and restore function of the ankle. For severe injuries, you
may be referred to a specialist in musculoskeletal injuries, such as an
orthopedic surgeon or a physician specializing in physical medicine and
rehabilitation. For self-care of an ankle sprain, use the R.I.C.E. approach for the first two or three days: Rest. Avoid activities that cause pain, swelling or discomfort. Ice.
Use an ice pack or ice slush bath immediately for 15 to 20 minutes and
repeat every two to three hours while you're awake. If you have vascular
disease, diabetes or decreased sensation, talk with your doctor before
applying ice. Compression.
To help stop swelling, compress the ankle with an elastic bandage until
the swelling stops. Don't hinder circulation by wrapping too tightly.
Begin wrapping at the end farthest from your heart. Elevation.
To reduce swelling, elevate your ankle above the level of your heart,
especially at night. Gravity helps reduce swelling by draining excess
fluid.
Once
the swelling and pain is lessened enough to resume movement, your
doctor will ask you to begin a series of exercises to restore your
ankle's range of motion, strength, flexibility and stability. Your
doctor or a physical therapist will explain the appropriate method and
progression of exercises. Balance and stability training is
especially important to retrain the ankle muscles to work together to
support the joint and to help prevent recurrent sprains. These exercises
may involve various degrees of balance challenge, such as standing on
one leg. If
you sprained your ankle while exercising or participating in a sport,
talk to your doctor about when you can resume your activity. Your doctor
or physical therapist may want you to perform particular activity and movement tests to determine how well your ankle functions for the sports you play.
