Grade III, or third degree, sprains are caused by complete tearing of the ligament where there is severe pain, loss of joint function,widespread swelling and bruising, and the inability to bear weight. These symptoms are similar to those of bone fractures
There are three grades of sprains. Grade I sprains. Grade II sprains. Grade III, or third degree, sprains
Grade I sprains and mild strains are usually self-diagnosed. Grade II and III sprains are often seen by a physician, who x rays the area to differentiate between a sprain and a fracture.

The definition of a sprain is the tearing or stretching of ligaments. Sprains are usually classified in severity from grade I through grade III. To answer your question a twisted ankle can result in a grade I through III sprain or no sprain at all depending on the severity of the trauma (twisting).
Grade I sprains are mild injuries where there is no tearing of the ligament, and no joint function is lost, although there may be tenderness and slight swelling.
Grade II sprains are caused by a partial tear in the ligament. These sprains are characterized by obvious swelling, extensive bruising, pain, difficulty bearing weight, and reduced function of the joint.
Grade I sprains are mild injuries in which there is a stretching or mild tearing of the ligament, yet no joint function is lost. However, there may be tenderness and slight swelling.
they are classified as first, second, or third-degree, or grade
These sprains are characterized by obvious swelling, localized tenderness, pain , joint laxity, difficulty bearing weight if the injury is to a lower extremity, and reduced function of the joint.
