Ankle Sprain Notes
There are three grades of ankle sprains:
Grade
1: Soreness in ankle, some possible light swelling. Typically weight bearing still feels okay. Turnaround tends to be within one-three days depending on the individual.
Grade 2: Tissue is stretched. There can be a partial tear. The ankle will be bruised and there will be some discoloration. Moderate pain during weight bearing. There will be a lack of mobility. Typical recovery lasts one to two weeks.
Grade 3: This is a tear, such as an ACL tear in the knee which is commonly seen in professional sports. All elements of Grade 2 is amplified. Repair isn't always needed, depending on the person's goal. Returning to running can sometimes take 3-4 weeks.
A large portion of sprains will be in the lower ankle. High ankle sprains tend to be more rare
***Please see an Ortho Physical Therapist for more guidance on ankle sprains and returning to activity.
