  • The majority of acute ankle pain can be diagnosed with a good history and physical examination. (aliem.com)
Left ankle4
  • 16 years old female presenting left ankle swelling/pain after abnormal landing during basketball, with pinpoint lateral malleolus tenderness and possible navicular tenderness. (radiopaedia.org)
  • My left ankle and foot is not swollen, but my right foot is slightly swollen, especially under and the right of my medial malleolus. (foot-pain-explained.com)
  • A 56-year-old female with a past medical history of hypothyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, and hypertension presented to our office in January of 2014 with a painful and malpositioned left ankle arthrodesis. (faoj.org)
  • She had a left ankle open reduction internal fixation in December of 2003. (faoj.org)
Tibiotalar1
  • The ankle complex (Figure 1 ) mainly formed by the ankle (or tibiotalar) and subtalar (or talocalcanear) joints plays a fundamental role in the human locomotor system, being involved in virtually every locomotion activity. (biomedcentral.com)
Contralateral ankle1
  • Taking intraoperative images of the contralateral ankle for comparison purposes can be useful to ensure that an anatomical reduction of the injured ankle is achieved. (aofoundation.org)

Arthroplasty1
  • The purpose of this case series is to present our successful experiences and positive results using distraction arthroplasty to treat PTOA in the ankle, subtalar, first metatarsophalangeal, and second tarsometatarsal joints, and to present distraction arthroplasty as a viable alternative to invasive joint sacrificing procedures such as arthrodesis or arthroplasty.

Articulation3
  • To restore the ankle mortise, the distal tibiofibular articulation must be brought together with implants, such as screws or synthetic sutures over endobuttons. (medscape.com)
  • Because of its weight-bearing function and the construction of its articulation, the ankle is the most commonly injured joint among athletes 1 - 3 and a frequent cause of morbidity in the general population. (aafp.org)
  • The inferior tibiofibular articulation is an integral part of the ankle joint. (musculoskeletalkey.com)
Syndesmosis3
  • 10 Rugby Union players were recruited during the 2014 season, and consented to receive a single autologous PRP injection into the AITFL within 14 days of MRI confirmed ankle syndesmosis injury. (bmj.com)
  • Conclusions This pilot study shows that, following ankle syndesmosis injury, a single autologous PRP injection may accelerate safe and successful return to Rugby Union, with improved functional capacity and reduced fear avoidance. (bmj.com)
  • Ankle syndesmosis injury (ASI) appears to be an increasingly common injury among the sporting population. (bmj.com)
Subtalar joints1
  • Motion at the ankle and subtalar joints is guided by the osteoarticular and ligamentous structures and induced by the forces and moments of the extrinsic muscles, in addition to the external forces. (biomedcentral.com)
Plantar flexion1
  • Movement at the ankle joint itself actually occurs only in the vertical plane (i.e., dorsi-flexion and plantar flexion). (aafp.org)
Knee1
  • This means: You get maximum loading maximum protection maximum energy for efficiency The body is a giant spring with 7 floors of springs: The arch The subtalar joint The ankle mortise The knee The hip The spine The head-neck Today we are going to release the third floor which is the ankle mortise. (teamdoctorsblog.com)
Posterior ankle1
  • In this review, the etiology, pathoanatomy, diagnostic workup, and treatment options for both anterior and posterior ankle impingement syndromes are discussed. (biomedcentral.com)

Outcomes1
Pain13
  • He has had intermittent pain in the ankle for 3 to 4 years, but it has never been this severe. (clinicaladvisor.com)
  • However, people may have ankle pain for several weeks before seeking treatment and often do not recall a specific injury. (clinicaladvisor.com)
  • Therefore, suspicion for osteochondral lesion should be high for anyone with a history of ankle sprain and chronic pain. (clinicaladvisor.com)
  • Ankle injury makes the nerves in the area become more sensitive, with throbbing pain that worsens if there is pressure placed on the area. (standardofcare.com)
  • For the past month, I have woken up with random sharp pain on the medial malleolus of both my left and right ankles. (foot-pain-explained.com)
  • The pain is the worst and begins on the very tip of the knobs, then fades back and if i move it or walk on it weird, a shooting pain will go back up my ankle. (foot-pain-explained.com)
  • The past few times this has happened the pain has been random in left, right, or both ankles. (foot-pain-explained.com)
  • In other words, you are essentially having the same pain in the same area of each ankle so in my way of thinking there is a common denominator that is causing bilateral, similar pain and that is your new walking/running regimen. (foot-pain-explained.com)
  • Since you mention one ankle appears to be swollen below and in front of the medial malleolus I would be more inclined to think about posterior tibial dysfunction which is inflammation of tibialis posterior, as the source of your pain. (foot-pain-explained.com)
  • Clinically, look for focal tenderness on the dome (front of ankle) with a history of ongoing pain and swelling that is activity induced. (ssmc.com.au)
  • Similarly, impingement syndromes are an increasingly recognized source of pain and disability in the ankle. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Pain and swelling occur first at the injury site, then often extend diffusely around the ankle. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Joint replacement is necessary in severely arthritic ankles to reduce pain, to restore joint stability, and to restore joint mobility. (biomedcentral.com)
Brace2
  • If you have a loose ankle joint seek professional care, wear a brace that is comfortable and protective, go for flatter shoes, and stretch out before your WOD. (321gomd.com)
  • There is no perfect brace and what suits one ankle may not suit another person's ankle. (ssmc.com.au)
Lateral aspect1
  • Tenderness and swelling are noted along the lateral aspect of the ankle inferior and anterior to the tip of the lateral malleolus. (orthopaedicclinic.com.sg)
Surgical3
  • Until recently, the most common surgical options included ankle fusion revision, tibiotalocalcaneal fusion, and transtibial amputation [3]. (faoj.org)
  • To enhance understanding of disorders and of relevant conservative and surgical treatments, a better knowledge of the physiological mechanics of the ankle complex still remains a crucial issue. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Rational design and surgical implantation of prostheses therefore demands understanding of the natural interactions between ligaments and articular surfaces of the two joints which control ankle complex mobility. (biomedcentral.com)
