Overview

The ankle is a stable joint consisting of several bones including the lower leg bones (tibia and fibula) and the ankle bone (talus). There are also several ligaments crossing the joint on the inside (medial) and outside (lateral) of the joint.

Injuries

Ankle injuries are common, and occur frequently. Direct trauma to the ankle can cause bones to fracture and are treated either by casts or surgery depending on their degree of seriousness. Ankle sprains are more common and involve the ligaments on either side of the ankle.
