Ankle pain

Ankle joint: It is composed of the articular surface of the lower end of the tibia and fibula and the talus pulley, so it is also called the talar calf joint. The tibial articular surface formed by the lower articular surface of the tibia and the medial and lateral ankle articular surfaces accommodates the talar block (joint head). Because the block is wide and narrow in front of the joint, when the foot is dorsiflexion, the wider front part enters In the fossa, the joints are stable; however, during plantar flexion, such as when the narrow rear part of the pulley enters the fossa when going downhill, the ankle joint is loose and can move sideways. At this time, the ankle joint is prone to sprains, and varus injuries are the most common. Because the lateral malleolus is longer and lower than the medial malleolus, it prevents excessive talus eversion.
