Ankle Deformity

Ankle deformity refers to an abnormal or misshapen appearance or alignment of the ankle joint. It involves a structural change in the bones, joints, or soft tissues surrounding the ankle.

Ankle deformities may be present at birth (e.g. clubfoot), or degenerative changes as a person ages. However, the most common causes in sport are dislocations and severe fractures. Arthritis and sometimes ligament sprains also make the ankle appear deformed.

Ankle deformities can manifest in various ways, including misalignment, malformation, joint contractures, or a noticeable change in the shape or size of the ankle joint.
