Ankle braces are for when you fracture or sprain your ankle you could use it if your ankle still hurts form when it's fractured!
An ankle sprain
A sprained ankle can sometimes result in a bone chip, called an avulsion fracture. This is not a common result of a sprain.
The name of the ligament that provides support against a varus or inversion sprain of the ankle is the lateral ankle ligament. It is also called the anterior talofibular ligament .
Usually rolling the ankle laterally would do this. I can think of a couple other instances, but most lateral ankle sprains are caused by rolling, either from landing off balance or misplanting the forefoot.
idk but i really want to sprain my ankle because when you brake a foot that means you snaped a bone in half but when you sprain your ankle that means that your ankle bone tore
well yes if you are running and you loose your balence and fall hard out of now where on the sement you are running on you will break it or sprain it or fracture it
The most common type is the inversion ankle sprain, in which the ankle rolls over on the outside.
You will sprain your ankle.
The distal ends of the tibia and fibula are the malleoli (singular malleolus). The tibia has the medial malleolus, and the fibula has the lateral malleolus.
between your ankle and your toes
Have it examined by a doctor, to differentiate from sprain, strain, arthritic pain or degernative disease, versus fracture or other pathology.
