What are the signs of ankle fracture?

Pain, bruising: There usually is an injury associated with this condition which will have signs of bruising, swelling, and pain. If the fracture is real bad, one can see an obvious alignment deformity of the affected limb. One may even have blisters associated with the rapid swelling that occurs.

Fracture: Pain, swelling, loss of motion or stiffness of the joint, deformity, difficulty bearing weight. This can be difficult to differentiate from a severe sprain or contusion without an xray.
