Another article in our hugely successful series looking at common injuries of the ankle joint and reviewing anatomy, assessment and diagnosis. The ankle is the most commonly injured joint in the lower limb, the anterior talo-fibular ligament (the classic sprained ankle) is a relatively simple ligamentous injury but as the severity of inversion injury increases, the sub-talar joint and the mortice of the true ankle joint can be disrupted which can be as severe as any knee injury. We will consider the ankle, sub-talar joint and foot in this article. This online version includes a series of supporting videos and anatomy animations.
