Ankles are susceptible to various injuries due to their crucial role in supporting body weight and facilitating movement. Common ankle injuries include:
Sprains: These occur when ligaments are stretched or torn, often due to sudden twisting or rolling of the ankle. Ligaments connect bone to bone and provide stability to the joint.
Strains: Involving the stretching or tearing of muscles or tendons around the ankle, strains can result from overuse, excessive force, or sudden movements.
Fractures: Ankle fractures involve a break in one or more bones in the ankle. This can happen due to a fall, impact, or twisting motion.
Achilles Tendon Injuries: The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. Injuries to this tendon can range from mild inflammation (tendonitis) to a complete tear.
Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the ankle can lead to pain and swelling. This can result from overuse, repetitive movements, or degenerative conditions.
Bursitis: Bursae are small sacs filled with fluid that cushion and reduce friction between bones and soft tissues. Inflammation of these sacs can cause pain and swelling.
Cartilage Injuries: Damage to the cartilage within the ankle joint can occur due to trauma or wear and tear, leading to pain and limited range of motion.
Arthritis: Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can affect the ankle joint, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Peroneal Tendon Injuries: The peroneal tendons, located on the outer side of the ankle, can suffer injuries ranging from inflammation to tears.
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: Similar to carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist, this condition involves compression of nerves in the ankle, leading to pain, tingling, and numbness.
