A sprained ankle is an injury that occurs when you roll, twist or turn your ankle in an awkward way. This can stretch or tear the tough bands of tissue (ligaments) that help hold your ankle bones together. Dr. Jeffrey Levy, a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon, explains the nature of an ankle sprain, what occurs during such an injury, the degrees associated with the injury, and what repair options exist including surgery.
