An ankle sprain is an injury to the ligaments that support the ankle. A sprained ankle is a very common injury. A sprained ankle can happen to athletes and non-athletes, children and adults. It can happen when you take part in sports and physical fitness activities. It can also happen when you simply step on an uneven surface, or step down at an angle.

With most sprains, you feel pain right away at the site of the tear. The ankle area is usually tender to touch, and it hurts to move it. In more severe sprains, you may hear and/or feel something tear, along with a pop or snap. You will probably have extreme pain at first and will not be able to walk. In that case should go to doctor and consult with them.

The wear and tear of the ankle joint can occur due to previous trauma or due to old age. It is called osteoarthritis (OA) or posttraumatic arthritis. Other causes include inflammatory Arthritis like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Gout, Infection etc. Once this cartilage is ripped away, it does not normally grow back. Pain is the main problem with arthritis of any joint. This pain occurs at first only related to activity. Later, when the condition worsens, pain may be present even at rest. The pain may interfere with sleep. The joint may swell, fill with fluid, and feel tight, especially following increased activity. Treatment includes medications to reduce the pain of OA, new injectable medications that lubricate the arthritic joint, physical therapy and surgery. The type of surgery depends on severity and duration of the arthritis, how active you are, how old you are. The choices for surgery are arthroscopic surgery to clean up the joint, fusion of the joint, or replacing the joint with an artificial ankle joint. At The Joint Clinic we perform ankle fusions with arthroscopic techniques.
