The primary function of a ligament is to provide passive stabilisation of a joint and it plays an important role in proprioceptive function.[1] A sprain is usually caused by the joint being forced suddenly outside its usual range of movement and the inelastic fibres are stretched through too great a range. For example, excessive inversion of the ankle can cause the lateral ankle ligaments, primarily the anterior talofibular ligament, to rupture. A severe sprain may look and feel like a break (fracture), and it can be difficult for health professionals to tell the difference between the two.[2] A ligament rupture can occur at the midsubstance of the ligament or at the ligament-bone junction.[1] Sometimes an avulsion fracture also occurs (the ligament pulls a piece of bone with it on injury).

Five years ago, running was my life. It was the perfect package of fitness, friendship and competition, all wrapped up in a shiny coat of endorphins.
