Ankle Ligament Rupture
Ankle ligament rupture occurs when the ligaments that support the joint are stretched beyond their capacity, resulting in injuries that can range from mild stretches to complete ruptures. They can occur from a sudden twist or rotation, or even from direct impact with trauma affecting the ankle region.
