Sprain
A sprain is an injury to the ligaments, the bands of tissue that connect the bones in a joint, which occurs when they are stretched or torn by a sudden movement or a twist. The ankle is one of the most commonly affected areas.
Common symptoms:
- pain and swelling in the joint
- appearance of bruising
- difficulty moving or putting weight on the area
When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable when the pain is intense, you cannot put weight on the joint, or the swelling does not improve.
The orthopedic surgeon treats injuries of joints and ligaments, and the physical therapist supports functional recovery. If you suffer a twist that limits you, the best thing is for a professional to examine the joint and guide the follow-up.
