The anterior talofibular ligament is a ligament in the ankle. It passes from the anterior margin of the fibular malleolus , passing anteromedially to insert at the lateral aspect of the talus at the talar neck , in front of its lateral articular facet.
A grade 1 sprain is defined as mild damage to a ligament or ligaments without instability of the affected joint. A grade 2 sprain is considered a partial tear to the ligament, in which it is stretched to the point that it becomes loose. A grade 3 sprain is a complete tear of a ligament, causing instability in the affected joint. [3]

In a displaced fracture the skin is sometimes tented over a sharp edge of broken bone. The sharp fragments of broken bone sometimes tear the skin and form a laceration that communicates with the broken bone or joint space. This is known as an open fracture and has a high incidence of infection if not promptly treated. [9] Ankle anatomy
grade 1: the cartilage has a soft spot, blisters, or superficial wear; grade 2: minor tears of less than one-half the thickness of the cartilage layer; grade 3: lesions have deep crevices of more than one-half the thickness of the cartilage layer; grade 4: the cartilage tear is full thickness and exposes the underlying (subchondral) bone
