Ankle Sprains: Ligament injuries caused by overstretching or tearing. Fractures: Breaks in the bone, which can range from small cracks to complete breaks. Tendon Injuries: Damage to the tendons, such as the Achilles tendon. Dislocations: When the bones in the ankle joint are forced out of their normal positions.
