Foot & Ankle Fracture
Fractures in the foot and ankle occur when there’s an injury in any of the bones forming the structure of the foot and ankle. It can be anything from a minor hairline fracture to severe bone breaks causing trauma. Their structure constitutes of multiple bones working together intricately to maintain proper mobility. In case of a fracture, the mobility is compromised, and you suffer from unbearable pain, swelling, and inflammation.
Though the fracture is typically a result of trauma due to injury of any kind, it can also affect people with weak bones, tendons, and ligament in the ankle and foot.
Foot & Ankle Dislocation
The ankle is a joint that connects your lower leg to the foot. The fibula and tibia of the leg are connected with the foot’s talus, forming the ankle’s mortise. It is between the tibia and talus of the ankle where the maximum weight is applied. In a dislocated ankle, the bones forming the joint fail to manage a balanced anatomic relationship. It is related to fractures of the distal ends of the fibula and tibia (also called malleolus).
It is also associated with the ligaments damage that provides support to the ankle joint. In rare cases, ankle dislocation can also be a result of an isolated ligament.
Heel Pain
Heel Pain is a foot problem that occurs right under the heel or sometimes, behind it – the point where the heel bone meets the Achilles tendon. In rare cases, it can also affect the sides of your heel. The pain caused under the heel is plantar fasciitis while the pain you suffer behind the heel is Achilles tendinitis. The condition can even affect the outer or inner part of the foot and heel. Most often, the heel pain is not a result of an injury.
Mostly it gets cured without treatment, but prolonged pain needs diagnosis to prevent it from turning chronic.
