Regards Lybrate user. Trauma can affect various tissues in the body. X-rays predominantly show concerns with bone. Soft tissues (that means tissues other than bone that are soft to touch) are not viewed well with x-rays. When fall occurs, it may injure muscles, ligaments, joint covering capsule and so on. Tendons that connect the muscle with the bones travel under tunnels at ankle that are covered by small ligaments. If such ligaments get injured, the tendons may snap out of place causing sounds and pain. Usually the ligaments heal by themselves, provided it is protected from extreme movements. It is recommended to consult an orthopaedician or orthopaedic physiotherapist to ascertain a treatment plan.
