Signs of a Sprained Ankle vs. Broken Ankle and Treatment Options

A sprained ankle and a broken ankle can cause similar symptoms and even result from similar causes. However, they are very different conditions. A break is a fracture in one of the bones of the ankle, usually the fibula. A sprain is a tear to one or more of the ankle's ligaments, which support the bone.
