I was late for a workout session recently, started off without doing any mobility drill and got a strain on Achilles tendon, which later turned into an inflammation around the ankle. I'm sure many of us have experienced an ankle/knee twist in some unexpected situations. 
Also, if there had been a major injury in the past, chances of it leading into a "weak spot" are high. For me, it's my ankle. From my experiences the most commonly recommended *first aid* (sometimes even a continued treatment) for acute injuries is- 
R - Rest
I - Ice
C - Compression
E - Elevation 

Remember to always consult a doctor after a joint injury. You don't want it turn into a weak spot, so taking immediate necessary actions are very important.
