Eli5 Whats the difference between a twisted, sprained, fractured and broken ankle?
In: 183
What is actually damaged and the severity
Twisted- bruised or overly stretched ligaments
Sprained- overly stretched and possibly torn ligaments
Fracture/break- bone is broken
Twisted usually is immediate to 48hrs before you are recovered with no medical attention. Sprain and broken need medical attention. And can be anywhere from 1 week to multiple months to recover.
Edit: pardon the format, mobile
