∙ 13y agoA twisted ankle would be sore and swell. A broken ankle would swell and you would not be able to walk on it.
A broken ankle is much more serious than a twisted ankle. With a twisted ankle it means you have stretched or torn the ligaments in the ankle and that would take about 4-6 weeks to heal. A broken ankle means the bone in the ankle is broken and that would take months to heal completely.
