Ankle fractures occur when there is a break in one or more bones that make up the ankle joint.
Broken or fractured ankles are amongst some of the most common injuries people accrue throughout their lives. Typically, if an ankle is fractured, tearing of ligaments and soft tissue occurs. The ankle is a crucial structure for standing and walking because it offers support and stability. Therefore, a broken ankle can be devastating to the quality of a person’s life.
