Muscles, tendons, and ligaments surround the ankle providing the stability the ankle joint needs for walking and running.Type I ankle sprainThe most common way the ankle can be injured is by an ankle sprain. When an ankle is sprained ligaments on the ankle are either stretched, partially torn or completely torn. The most common type of sprain is an inversion injury, where the foot is rotated inward.
