About this condition
Ankle fractures involve one or more of the bones that form the joint, sometimes with ligament injury. Whether a cast or an operation is needed depends on how stable the joint is and how far the bones have moved.
What you may notice
Broken bones around the ankle after a twist, fall or road accident, with swelling and difficulty walking.
How we help
Imaging to check stability, then a cast or boot, or surgical fixation when the bones or joint are out of position.
