The ankle joint is also known as the talocrural joint.
The stability of the ankle, or talocrural joint, largely depends on the ligaments that hold it together.
The medial malleolus and the lateral malleolus are bony prominences on the tibia that help form the ankle joint. They provide stability to the joint and serve as attachment points for ligaments that support the ankle.
Accessory ligaments are additional ligaments that provide extra support and stability to joints, complementing the main ligaments. They can be found in various parts of the body, such as the knee and ankle, helping to prevent excessive movement and maintain proper joint alignment. Some well-known examples include the patellar ligament and the ligamentum flavum. These ligaments play a crucial role in the overall function and integrity of the musculoskeletal system.
The structure of the ankle is comprised of many bones, ligaments, and muscles ranging from above the calcaneous(Heel bone) and the top of the footdown to the toes. The "Ankle bone" (bone that protrudes out) is called the malleolus. Most people commonly confuse this for the ankle bone. when it is really one of many.

The ankle joint is also known as the talocrural joint.
The medical term for inversion of the ankle is lateral. When the ankle becomes inverted, there is damage to the ligaments.

It seems like you may have misspelled a term. "Sprained ankle" refers to an injury that occurs when the ligaments in the ankle are stretched or torn. It can cause pain, swelling, and limited range of motion.
A torn ligament will effect the ankle bones negatively. An ankle bone that has its ligament torn would be considered a severe ankle sprain.
While running can be a great form of exercise, ankle injuries are a known risk. Ankle sprains are commonly caused when too much force on the ligaments leads to tearing of those ligaments. This can happen when running on uneven ground (trail running). Overtraining's can also lead to excess stress on your ligaments.
Spraining your ankle is typically caused by a torsion force, which is a twisting force that causes the ligaments in the ankle to stretch or tear.
Wrench or twist the ligaments of (an ankle, wrist, or other joint) violently.

There is no difference. A sprained ankle can also be known as an ankle sprain, twisted ankle, rolled ankle, ankle ligament injury, or ankle injury. It's when one or more ligaments are torn or partially torn where they are connected to your ankle bone.
A sprained ankle is where one of the ligaments (tissue that connects bone to bone) of the ankle is torn or partially torn due to the ankle turning or twisting too far or in a way that is not natural.
