1. Ankle Joint Bursitis
2. Ankle Joint Sprain
3. Ankle Joint Tendonitis
4. Ankle Joint Dislocation
5. Ankle Joint Fracture

• Ankle Joint Bursitis is a painful condition.
• Pain is observed with flexion, extension and rotation of the ankle.
• Subcutaneous Calcaneal bursa is extremely painful during insertion of foot in shoes, pressure or touch over back of the foot.
• Retrocalcaneal bursa is very painful during flexion and extension of ankle joint.
• Bursa of medial malleolus is painful during internal rotation.

Severity of Ankle Joint Sprain is described as follows-

• Grade I Ankle Joint Sprain- Grade I ankle joint sprain is caused by mild to moderate injuries resulting in superficial scratch of the ligament.
• Grade II Ankle joint Sprain- Intermediate injury caused by partial tear or deep laceration of ligament.
• Grade III Ankle Joint Sprain- Severe injury of the ligament results in complete tear of the ligament.

Tendonitis is most often observed with following tendons-

• Achilles tendon.
• Peroneal tendon.
• Posterior tibial tendon.

• Partial Tear of Tendon
• Complete Tear of Tendon

Ankle joint dislocation without fracture is very rare. Ankle joint dislocations are as follows-

• Tibio-fibula Joint Dislocation
• Tibio-Talur Joint Dislocation
• Talo-Calcaneal Joint Dislocation

• Ankle joint fracture is often associated with ankle joint dislocation.
• Ankle twist during contact sport may follow a transmission of entire body weight through twisted ankle and results in fracture of ankle joint or fracture dislocation.
• Accelerated direct impact of ankle joint may result in ankle joint dislocation or fracture.
