There are many ligaments around the ankle and these can become damaged when the ankle is forced into a postion not normally encountered.he most frequently seen sprain occurs when weight is applied to a foot which is on an uneven surface, and the foot rolls in (inversion). Because the sole of the foot is pointing inward as force is applied, the ligaments stabilizing the lateral-or outside-part of the ankle are stressed.
