Names and Anatomy of the Bones in the Ankle. Though often believed to contain just one joint, the ankle is actually formed of two joints – the ankle joint, also known as the tibiotalar or talocrural joint, and the subtalar joint. Here are the 4 bones that form the ankle: Tibia (shinbone) Fibula; Talus; Calcaneus (heel bone)
An ankle fracture is a break of one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint. [1] . Symptoms may include pain, swelling, bruising, and an inability to walk on the injured leg. [1] . Complications may include an associated high ankle sprain, compartment syndrome, stiffness, malunion, and post-traumatic arthritis. [1][2]
Ankle fractures range from simple injuries of a single bone to complex ones involving multiple bones and ligaments. Twisting with the foot planted on the ground and the body rotating around it is the most common mechanism of injury.
Ankle fractures can have one, two, or three broken bones. When two bones are broken, it's called a bimalleolar ankle fracture. When three bones are broken, it's called a trimalleolar ankle fracture. Stable fractures can sometimes heal with a cast or boot. Unstable fractures may need surgery.
