Ankle Injuries and Disorders
Your ankle bone and the ends of your two lower leg
bones make up the ankle joint. Your
ligaments, which connect bones to one another, become
stable and support it. Your muscles and tendons move
it.
The most frequent ankle problems are
sprains and fractures. A sprain is
a wound to the ligaments.
It might take a few weeks to many months to heal entirely.
A fracture is a break in a bone. You can also harm other
parts of the ankle such as tendons, which join muscles
to bone, and cartilage, which cushions your joints.
Ankle sprains and fractures are familiar sports
injuries.
