Which is the "most common" way to say ankle sprains.

Torcedura del tobillo or Esguince del tobillo?.

Both are pretty common ways to say the same thing.

I have Cuban, and Costa Rican friends, and they use " torcedura". I hadn't heard the word "esguince" before.

Have you ever listened to Dr. Molly Martin's medical Spanish podcasts? Sorry, I don't have a link, but you could "google" it. She is delightful!

Hola:

Otra opción: tronchar (por lo menos en Colombia).
