18 Jan Ankle Sprains Ankle sprains are a common injury, particularly in sports involving lateral (side-to-side) movements such as soccer, football and netball. It is caused by the stretching of the ankle ligaments, most commonly the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), to the point of partial or complete rupture.
