Item description

Ankle ligament tears are common injuries that occur when the ligaments supporting the ankle are overstretched or torn. These injuries are typically caused by sudden twisting or rolling movements of the ankle, often during sports or physical activities.

1. Sports Injuries - Engaging in high-impact sports such as basketball, soccer, or tennis often leads to sudden twisting, rolling, or overextension of the ankle. These movements can overstretch or tear the ligaments.
2. Trauma or Accidents - Direct impact to the ankle, such as during a fall, car accident, or collision, can damage the ligaments by forcing the joint beyond its natural range of motion.
3. Improper Footwear - Wearing unsupportive or ill-fitting shoes, especially during physical activities, increases the risk of ankle instability, leading to ligament injuries.
4. Repetitive Strain - Repeated stress on the ankle due to activities like running on uneven surfaces or excessive physical strain can weaken the ligaments over time, making them prone to tears.
5. Poor Balance or Weak Ankles - Conditions like muscle weakness, poor proprioception (body awareness), or previous ankle injuries can cause instability, making the ligaments more susceptible to tears during sudden movements.
