A broken ankle is a fracture of one or more bones that make up the ankle joint. It can be the result of twisting the foot, falling or experiencing a direct impact. Symptoms include sudden pain, swelling, bruising, difficulty moving the ankle, and an inability to bear weight. The area may appear deformed due to the injury. Causes range from sports accidents to simple missteps on uneven ground. A podiatrist can perform a thorough examination, order imaging, and provide treatment that supports healing, reduces pain, and restores function. If you suspect you have broken your ankle, it is suggested that you promptly contact a podiatrist who can accurately diagnose and treat this condition.
