What is an Ankle Injury?

The ankle is a key facet as it is where the three main bones of the foot meet:

  1. the tibia and
  2. the fibula of the lower leg
  3. with the talus of the feet.

Ankle injuries vary in severity and can be caused by a variety of accidents. The most common form of injury is a strain or sprain where pain is caused through swelling and bruising, which can restrict movement. Injuries to the ankle can be the result of:

Ankle fracture: A fracture is a break in the bone. Symptoms include swelling, tenderness, bruising, numbness and tingling.

Stress Fracture: This injury transpires slowly over time due to repetitive trauma to the bones and muscles, which is primarily due to overuse. When these muscles become tired or overloaded, they are subsequently unable to engage the stress or shock of the constant effects. Thus they start to break which leads to a stress fracture.

Ankle sprain: A sprain can occur when a ligament fibre is torn or stretched. The ligaments are tissues which attach the bones or cartilages or hold together a joint.

    Ankle strain: A strain can occur when a muscle or tendon is stretched or torn. The tendon is the tissue which joins the muscle to the bone. When these tissues are pulled or twisted it can cause a strain. These strains can happen over time or suddenly, those who take part in sports are more likely to acquire a strain.

    Acute tendon tears: Result from a sudden trauma or force, tendinitis is the inflammation of a tendon.

    Microscopic tendon tears that accrue over time due to repeatedly being overstretched, and don’t heal properly lead to tendinosis.
