Ankle trauma includes ankle sprain, fracture, and a torn ligament. Loose-fitting shoes, high-heeled footwear, walking on an uneven road, sudden twisting of the ankle in sports activities, running, jumping, dancing, road accident, etc., contribute to ankle injuries. It leads to pain, swelling, and the inability to walk or move the ankle. A simple sprain can be managed with adequate rest, cold compression, elastic bandages or soft braces, and leg elevation, along with pain killers. Serious injuries require appropriate surgical intervention.
