Ankle Fractures
Causes
Ankle fractures generally occur as a result of excessive rolling or twisting of the ankle. This type of injury is often associated with accidents or activities such as jumping or falling, which apply sudden stress to the joint. When the joint is subjected to these forces, the bones forming the ankle joint can break, resulting in an ankle fracture.
Symptoms
With an ankle fracture, there is immediate swelling and pain around the ankle as well as impaired mobility. In some cases, blood may accumulate around the joint, a condition called hemarthrosis. In cases of severe fracture, deformity around the ankle joint is clearly visible where bone may protrude through the skin.
