(HealthDay News) -- An ankle injury may be difficult to diagnose as a sprain or fracture, but any obvious ankle injury should be evaluated by a doctor.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons says symptoms of a fractured ankle include:

• Immediate and severe pain.
• Bruising.
• Swelling.
• Injury is tender to the touch.
• Inability to put weight on the ankle.
• The bone appears deformed or out of place.
