Ankle fracture affects the gliding joint between the distal
ends of the tibia and fibula and the proximal end of the talus. During a fractured
ankle, one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint are separated into
pieces. There may be ligaments damaged as well. This fracture mostly happens
when the pressure is concentrated more on the ankle. The range of fractured
ankle usually includes breaks in one bone, which may not stop you from walking,
to several fractures, which force your ankle to be out of place. It may require that you not put weight
on the ankle for three months. There are some causes of the ankle fracture,
including the following:
1-In the time of "Twisting"
or rotating your ankle.
2-When you “Rolled" your ankle.
3-In the time of Tripping or falling.
4-Impact during a car accident happen.
A fractured ankle can happen to anyone .It has happened
approximately 184 per 100,000 person per year. From the report of the doctors,
this case is increasing day by day.
Now I am going to tell you the structure of ankle joint. It
is made up of three bones, namely Tibia, Fibula or Talus. Two joints are
involved in the ankle fracture. The first joint is called ankle joint and the
other one is Syndesmosis (the joint between the tibia and fibula, which is held
together by ligaments).
Now I give you the details about the bones.
(a)
Tibia Bones->It is the primary bone of the
lower leg that comprises the medial aspect of them
anklebone.
(b)
Fibula Bones->It is a smaller sized bone that
parallels the tibia within the lower leg as well as comprises the lateral
aspect of the anklebone.
(c)
Talus Bones-> The ankle joint is formed by
the talus and the bottom of the tibia and fibula that rest upon it.
