The ankle joint is stabilised by several ligaments like the Anterior Talofibular Ligament (ATFL) and the Calcaneofibular Ligaments (CFL). When these ligaments are injured during sports or daily activity, they can cause an ankle sprain.\n\nHow Are Ankle Sprains Treated?\nMost of the times an ankle sprain will only need proper rest of the joint, icing, compression and elevation to decrease the pain and swelling.\nIf the pain and swelling persist after three months, you might be suffering from chronic ankle joint injury which almost always requires surgery.\n
