The seriousness of the broken ankle can vary, from tiny cracks to very displaced bones that are sticking out of the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03bc\u03af\u03b1\">Anatomy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The ankle joint consists of 3 bones that are held together with strong ligaments: the tibia, the fibula, and the talus (connects your leg to your foot). The ankle joint can break in more than one bone and the ligaments can often get damaged, as well. The ends of the tibia and fibula that make part of the ankle joint are called the malleoli (singular is \u201cmalleolus). The lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula (outside of the ankle) and the medial malleolus in the distal end of the tibia (inside of the ankle). The back side of the distal end of the tibia is also called posterior malleolus and is found at the back of the ankle. An isolated break of the lateral malleolus is very common and is often stable enough to be treated without surgery. A combined break of 2 or 3 malleoli (\u201cbimal\u201d or \u201ctrimal\u201d), or an injury of a single malleolus with associated ligament injury (injury of the syndesmosis or deltoid ligament) is often unstable and may be treated with surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-417260df alignwide uagb-is-root-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-816407ed\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u0391\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03bc\u03af\u03b1-\u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03bf\u03ba\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\u03c2.jpg\" alt=\"\u0391\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03bc\u03af\u03b1 \u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03bf\u03ba\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\u03c2\" class=\"wp-image-4398\" style=\"border-radius:10px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-f364e5fb\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full has-custom-border\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\u039a\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1-\u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03bf\u03ba\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\u03c2.jpg\" alt=\"\u039a\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03bf\u03ba\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\u03c2 \u03c4\u03b1\u03be\u03b9\u03bd\u03cc\u03bc\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7 Weber\" class=\"wp-image-4399\" style=\"border-radius:10px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03ba\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1-\u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03bf\u03ba\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\u03c2-\u03b1\u03af\u03c4\u03b9\u03b1\">What causes a broken ankle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ankle fractures may occur in any age and are among the most common injuries that an orthopaedic surgeon will treat.

A simple x-ray is usually enough to initially diagnose a broken ankle upon clinical suspicion. It\u2019s important for the doctor to get repeat x-rays after setting your ankle, as these will guide treatment and will confirm an appropriate position that will prevent severe swelling. A stress x-ray (weightbearing x-rays or against gravity) is sometimes needed to further assess a subtle injury or check for instability. Your surgeon may request a CT scan in complex cases for preoperative planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03ba\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1-\u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03bf\u03ba\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\u03c2-\u03b8\u03b5\u03c1\u03b1\u03c0\u03b5\u03af\u03b1\">How is a broken ankle treated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Ankle fractures are often very painful and may be accompanied by an obvious deformity if your ankle is out of place (dislocated ankle). The emergency room doctor will examine your foot and check your neurovascular status. If the ankle is dislocated, the doctor may need to reduce it, meaning to set it straight after some sort of sedation, so that you remain comfortable. Then your ankle will be put in a splint and repeat x-rays will be made to check its position. You will then be sent to an orthopaedic surgeon for further treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-1321e351 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-ed6b0f5d\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-47eb22b0 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/bimalleolar-fracture-mild-displacement.jpg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/bimalleolar-fracture-mild-displacement.jpg\" alt=\"\u039a\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03bf\u03ba\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\u03c2 \u03b1\u03ba\u03c4\u03b9\u03bd\u03bf\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03c6\u03af\u03b1\" class=\"uag-image-2372\" width=\"300\" height=\"301\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-7d870ce4\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-3bdc54f0 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ankle-ORIF.jpg \" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ankle-ORIF.jpg\" alt=\"\u039a\u03ac\u03c4\u03b1\u03b3\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03bf\u03ba\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03bf\u03c3\u03cd\u03bd\u03b8\u03b5\u03c3\u03b7\" class=\"uag-image-3121\" width=\"243\" height=\"306\" title=\"\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The surgeon will typically assess your injury and radiographs and decide as to whether you have a stable injury that can be treated conservatively, or an unstable injury that will benefit from surgery. If the injury is stable and no surgery is needed, your ankle may be kept in a splint, or you may be given a walking boot for a few weeks. You may also use crutches for a few weeks as walking aids. This is commonly the case in simpler injuries, such as an isolated lateral malleolar fracture without deltoid injury, or an undisplaced medial malleolar fracture. These can be treated with early weight-bearing in a protective boot. Unstable fractures, such as \u201cbimals\u201d, \u201ctrimals\u201d, or fractures with associated syndesmotic injuries are treated surgically, usually with a combination of plates and screws. Surgery may be delayed for 1-2 weeks, in case of severe swelling, as this poses less risk to your healing. More severe cases may require admission to the hospital and a temporizing procedure (external fixation), meaning an initial surgery with an external scaffold of sorts, until the swelling subsides.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After surgery, you may expect your leg to be in a splint or protective boot. You may expect a wound check and suture removal 2 weeks after surgery. Your doctor and physiotherapist will create a customized rehabilitation plan based on a case-to-case basis. Most ankle fractures heal well, but a minority may develop stiffness, post-traumatic arthritis and not regain the full, pre-injury range of motion, depending on the severity of the initial injury. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drgpanagopoulos.com\/en\/orthopaidikos-xeirourgos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Dr Panagopoulos<\/strong><\/a> has extensive experience in orthopaedic trauma surgery, and will discuss with you all options during your visit in our office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"faq-\u03c3\u03c5\u03c7\u03bd\u03ad\u03c2-\u03b5\u03c1\u03c9\u03c4\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2\">FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list\">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1697885615714\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">What is a broken ankle?\u00a0<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>A broken ankle is a fracture (or fractures) of one or more of the 3 bones that make the ankle joint: the fibula, the tibia or the talus.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1697885655241\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">What are the malleoli?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The ends of the tibia and fibula that make part of the ankle joint are called the malleoli (singular is \u201cmalleolus).
