What is it? An ankle sprain is an injury (a stressing, pulling or tearing) of the ligaments supporting the ankle. Most ankle sprains affect the outside of the ankle, where three small ligaments act together to support the joint. The foot will turn inward at the ankle, in what is called an inversion sprain. Afterward, the joint may feel sore, unstable or both.
