What are the risks of having an ankle fracture from twisting it?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Depends: Most ankle twists (sprains) do not involve a fracture but occasionally a more severe twist will cause something called an avulsion fracture where the twisted ligament pulls a small piece of bone away and this is called an avulsion fracture.

Depends on severity: If the twist is severe enough with enough force, various types of ankle fractures are possible.
