A broken ankle - is set in plaster and thus the joint is immobilised until it 's healed.
A sprained ankle is a muscular injury - and even the slightest movement will be uncomfortable until the muscles heal themselves.
fracture
Fracture - but it depends on the type of it or how severe was it.
yes
It is generally easier to sprain your ankle than to break it. A sprain is a stretching or tearing of the ligaments, while a break is a fracture in the bone. The recovery time and treatment for a sprain are typically less extensive than for a break.
a sprain means that you have jarred the injured body part. A fracture is when you dent or break the bone. A few weeks ago I buckle fractured my arm and it was broken on the inside of my bone not the outside.
A strain is an overstretched or "pulled" or torn muscle. a sprain is an overstretched or torn ligament (holds bones together at a joint), and a fracture is a crack, chip, break or crush of a bone.
A sprain is actually much worse than a break as it would hurt so much more for a longer period of time whereas if you broke a bone it would only hurt when you have broken it and then it would be plastered therefore, it would not hurt as much.
The average injury is a sprain or fracture.
Sprains, strains, and scrapes
If it is only a sprain, there can be some ligamentous laxity. However, if it is a fracture and it heals improperly or in the wrong position (or does not heal at all), there can be some consequences, such as early arthritis or improper functioning of the joint.but what if it feels like it is getting worse all though it was originally a sprain
all treatments must allow the injured parts to rest
actually, u can have a bone fracture, but i can also be many things,like a sprain or severe buising, or a twist, but to be sure you have to have a exray.
