Sprain- because the patient heard the “pop” sound, her injury is likely related to an ankle sprain in which the ligaments and tissue that surround the bones of the ankle are injured causing swelling, pain, and limited ROM  (PubMed Health, 2018: 2024 – Write My Essay For Me | Essay Writing Service For Your Papers Online).
Fracture- a fracture would be unlikely if the patient was able to bear weight after the injury. The area would also become ecchymotic with limited to no ROM (PubMed Health, 2018: 2024 – Write My Essay For Me | Essay Writing Service For Your Papers Online).
Osteomyelitis- the extremity would be warm, erythematous, not usually associated with an acute injury, potential fever present, usually associated with a systemic infection or a wound (Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon, & Stewart, 2015 – Research Paper Writing Help Service)
Gout- associated with hot, swollen joints, pain and limited ROM (Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon, & Stewart, 2015 – Research Paper Writing Help Service)
Bursitis- limited ROM, swelling, pain, warmth, and point tenderness (Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon, & Stewart, 2015 – Research Paper Writing Help Service)
