Deliberately Broke My Ankle

Why Would I Deliberately Broke My Ankle

Ankle sprains are the most common injury to the ankle and the long term consequences of ankle sprains are common cause of chronic ankle pain. The most common type is the inversion ankle sprain, in which the ankle rolls over on the outside.

Ankle sprains are the stretching and tearing of ligaments - in the sprained ankle the most common damage is done to the talo-fibula ligament (if the ankle sprain is worse, the calcaneo-fibula ligament can also be damaged) - sometimes the tendons also get damaged.
