AB Classification  of  these  injuries  is  based  on  examination;  radiographs  are  often  not  required  to  guide  management.  The  most  common  mechanism  is  an  inversion  stress  that  injures,  in  order,  the  anterior  talofibular,  calcaneofibular,  and  posterior  talofibular  ligaments.  The  medial  deltoid  is  the  strongest  ligament;  therefore,  isolated  injuries  are  rare,  and  medial  ankle  sprains  are  often  associated  with  lateral  malleolar  or  syndesmotic  injuries.
