High Ankle Sprain
A sprained ankle occurs when the ligaments that connect the bones in the ankle joint are stretched or torn. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that provide stability to joints by holding the bones together.

The treatment of high ankle sprains
A high ankle sprain, also known as a syndesmotic ankle sprain, is a more severe type of ankle sprain that involves the ligaments connecting the tibia and fibula bones. It can also affect the ligament that wraps around the front of the ankle, called the anterior syndesmosis.
In cases of a complete tear or third-degree sprain, where the ligaments are severely damaged, surgical intervention may be necessary.
