The ankle plays an important role in walking and\nrunning, connecting the leg to the foot. The ankle and subtalar joints have\nextraordinarily complex anatomies and biomechanical functions that allow\nextreme loading, complex three-dimensional motion, and balancing. During\nwalking and running, and especially during sports activities, the two joints must\nreact quickly to an enormous input of information from the rest of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most \u201cmalformations\u201d of the ankle occur in combination with other, mostly congenital, deformities<\/a> such as fibular hemimelia or proximal congenital femoral deficiency (CFD). These severe forms usually require reconstructive surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Injuries and Trauma <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ankle and\nsubtalar joints are sensitive to injuries and trauma. Ankle sprains are common,\nand although usually limited to soft tissue and ligamentous injuries, they\noften take a long time to achieve full recovery. Physical therapy and specific\nstrengthening and balancing exercises can help to speed up recovery and prevent\nfuture injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fractures at\nthe ankle joint often include the growth plate. If the growth plate partially\ncloses after trauma, shortening and malalignment can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valgus Position of the Ankle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deformities involving only the ankles are rare. Valgus position of the ankle is a deformity found at the tibia (shin bone), where it forms the joint line of the ankle. This joint line is inclined in ankle valgus instead of being horizontal. This can lead to an inclination of the heel, which mimics a flat foot position of the heel. Ankle valgus is sometimes combined with genu valgum (knock-knees<\/a>). If the growth plate at the ankle is intact, ankle valgus can be corrected using guided growth with a small plate and two screws, similar to the correction of knock-knees. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
