The ankle is a complex joint in which three bones – the tibia and fibula of the lower leg and the talus of the foot – meet and are held together by ligaments. These ligaments function much like strong elastic bands to keep the bones in place while the ankle moves. While often thought of as a sports injury, ankle damage can actually occur any time the ankle joint twists too far outside of its normal position. Ankle injury treatment can target:
- A strain, which can result when a muscle or tendon is damaged after being pulled too far
- A sprain, or ankle ligament injury that results when a ligament tears or ruptures after being stretched beyond is normal range of motion
- Osteoarthritis, or inflammation and degeneration of the cartilage in the ankle joint
- Dislocation of the ankle joint
- A fracture, or break, in a bone
