Ankle Conditions
Ankle sprains occur when the ligament supporting the ankle joint and bones stretches beyond its limit and tears, often due to accidental twisting, falls or awkward landing. Pain, swelling and tenderness can be felt at the affected ankle, along with bruising and a limited range of motion.
Without treatment, ankle sprains can potentially lead to chronic ankle pain, instability and even irreversible joint arthritis.
Ankle fractures involve a break in one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint, caused by a direct impact to the ankle joint as a result of a fall, accident or contact during sports.
From simple breaks to complex fractures, symptoms can include ankle pain, swelling, difficulty walking or bearing weight, and in severe cases, visible deformity in the ankle.
A severe injury where one or more bones of the ankle joint move out of place, usually as a result of trauma. A dislocated ankle usually presents with sudden intense pain, swelling, soreness to touch, inability to bear weight and a noticeable deformity on the affected joint.
This refers to the inflammation of the Achilles tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone, often associated with repetitive stress and overuse. It can cause heel pain and swelling at the back of the heel; without proper treatment, this can lead to a higher risk of tendon rupture.
A condition in which the Achilles tendon is overly stretched, resulting in the partial or complete tearing of the tendon which can cause sharp pain and a popping sound at the back of the ankle.
Tearing of the Achilles tendon often stems from athletic activities that involve forceful jumping, sudden changes in direction or a fall.
This refers to the damage or wearing down of the protective cartilage in the ankle joint, commonly caused by traumatic injuries, repetitive stress or degenerative conditions, resulting in pain, stiffness, decreased range of motion, and where left untreated, can lead to the early onset of ankle arthritis.
This is an overuse injury that develops from repeated stress on the tendon, and can affect people of all activity levels and athletes, especially dancers. It is characterised by pain and swelling in the Achilles tendon that tends to worsen with movement.
Common among athletes in sports like dancing, football and basketball, ankle impingement is the painful pinching of soft tissue or bone at the front (anterior) or back (posterior) of the ankle, often due to repetitive ankle joint motions or previous ankle injuries.
Anterior ankle impingement involves pain at the front of the ankle, usually during upward foot movement, while posterior ankle impingement involves pain at the back of the ankle with downward foot movement.
A condition that often arises from recurrent ankle sprains, which can lead to a weakened and unstable ankle joint. Symptoms include persistent discomfort, swelling, and a feeling of looseness or instability in the ankle joint.
A degenerative condition where the cartilage in the ankle joint is damaged or worn out, causing pain, swelling, difficulty walking and a limited range of motion. This can manifest in various types, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and post-traumatic arthritis, which may be attributed to age-related wear and tear, autoimmune diseases or previous ankle injuries.
