In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know the injured bands hold my two lower leg bones together just above my ankle.
- I know a twisting injury can tear these bands and may also break a bone.
- I know bones that spread apart can leave my ankle unstable and raise my risk of lasting problems.
- I protect my ankle by avoiding running, jumping, and twisting until my care team clears me.
