The ankle joint is a connecting joint between the leg and foot. There are three bones of the ankle joint, namely – the tibia, fibula, and talus. The tibia (shinbone) and the fibula (calfbone) are part of the lower leg that articulates with the talus or the ankle bone. These enable the movement of the foot up and down. Besides these, the three bony bumps on the ends of the tibia and fibula, form the medial, posterior, and lateral malleolus.

Soft tissues such as the cartilage, ligaments, bursae, muscles, and tendons support feet and ankle bones. It is interesting to note that there are around 20 muscles that help in the movement of the foot. Any injury to the bones or the soft tissues around the ankle and feet results in ankle and foot pathology.

• Ankle Fractures – An Ankle fracture is a condition caused due to trauma to one or more bones of the ankle joint. The chief cause of ankle fractures is a twisting or excessive rolling of the ankle during an accident or sports injuries like falling or jumping. The different ankle fractures can be lateral malleolus fractures, medial malleolus fractures, posterior malleolus fractures, and bi/trimalleolar fractures.
• Osteochondral Ankle Injuries – They are injuries to the talus (heel bone) characterized by damage to both bone and cartilage covering it. Osteochondral injuries are commonly caused by trauma to the ankle joint such as found in ankle sprains. The condition is characterized by pain, tenderness, difficulty weight-bearing, and ankle locking.
• Ankle Instability – Ankle instability is a chronic ankle condition characterized by recurrent slipping of the outer part of the ankle. It is a result of repeated ankle sprains (injury to the ankle ligaments) or when the injured ligament has not been rehabilitated completely.
