A patient comes in saying they hurt their ankle. The ankle is swollen very badly and the patient says that it cracked like their knuckles. Possibilities ?

Hello! :)

If a patient came in with these symptoms, it could be the result of a fracture or break in the ankle.

One possibility is that they broke a bone in their ankle, but there are probably others.
