A twisted ankle can happen in the blink of an eye—during a brisk walk, a workout, or while playing your favorite sport. Many of us shrug it off as a minor sprain, but in reality, it could be something far more serious: an Ankle Ligament Injury.
At Dr. Siddharth’s Nagpur Arthroscopy & Sports Injury Centre, we often treat patients who delayed care for what they assumed was a minor issue. Unfortunately, ignoring the signs of ligament injury can lead to chronic pain, long-term instability, and reduced mobility. But with the right diagnosis and expert treatment, recovery is not only possible—it can be swift and complete.
What is an Ankle Ligament Injury?
Your ankle is supported by multiple ligaments that provide stability and prevent excessive movement. These ligaments can be injured due to:
Sudden twisting or turning of the ankle
High-impact sports or activities
A fall or misstep on uneven surfaces
When a ligament is stretched too far or torn, it results in a ligament injury, which can vary from mild sprains to complete tears. Without timely intervention, these injuries can lead to repeated sprains, chronic ankle instability, and even arthritis over time.
Recognize the Symptoms Early
It’s important to listen to your body. Here are the most common signs of an ankle ligament injury:
Swelling and Bruising: Often appearing quickly after injury
Sharp or Persistent Pain: Particularly when walking or bearing weight
A Popping Sensation: Felt at the moment of injury
Instability While Walking: Feeling like the ankle may give out
Restricted Range of Motion: Difficulty moving your foot in certain directions
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to see a specialist.
