It is a break or interruption in bone continuity. Unfortunately, the things we subconsciously hold synonymous with a sprain can also happen with a fracture.Īlthough there are many variations of a fracture, the definition is quite simple. With almost every sprain there is an ominous “pop” or significant bruising.įor the 25,000 people who suffer from an ankle sprain each day in the United States alone, it is possible that the popping sound or bruise that covers the entire outside of the foot may be a fracture instead. If you have ever played basketball, tennis, volleyball, or even walked on an uneven sidewalk, you may have been a victim of an ankle sprain.
