A member asked:
I sprained my ankle. x-ray shows no broken bones. heard it pop, bruises and pain. are there ways to make sure that there are no torn ligaments?

Magnetism........: The MRI can be used to confirm the suspicion of any torn ligaments after suffering from an ankle injury. However, the fact that a ligament is shown to be torn may not necessarily change the manner in which the ankle sprain it treated.
