- Ankle Injuries
- High Ankle Sprain
A high ankle sprain is an injury to the ligaments between the two major bones of the lower leg (tibia and fibula) at the level above the ankle.
The high (syndesmotic) ankle sprain is caused by an outward twisting of the foot and ankle, which is opposite of a typical ankle sprain where the foot and ankle are twisted inward. High ankle sprains are slow to heal because there is a very poor blood supply to this area of the ankle and injuries can take six weeks or longer to heal and may require surgery. |
