The ankle bone (talus) and the ends of the two lower leg bones (tibia and fibula) form the ankle joint, which is stabilized and supported by three groups of ligaments. Muscles and tendons move the foot and ankle. Among the most most prevalent foot and ankle injuries are ankle sprains and Achilles tendon injuries often caused by a direct blow to the foot and ankle, or over extension. Use in training and sports places repeated stress on the foot and ankle, and the result can be stress fractures and muscle/tendon strains. No one is immune from these injuries, but The Orthopaedic Clinic has specialists on hand who can help treat your injuries.
