 The
ankle is a marvel in engineering. The ankle, no bigger than a walnut, is
able to support us and carry us over variations in surfaces and keep us erect
for extended periods of time. The bones of the ankle include the talus,
tibia and fibula. These three bones work together to give us the range of
motion unique to homo sapiens.
Pain in the ankle can come from a number of different condition.
The following links provide additional information regarding ankle pain.
The links have been broken into regions of the ankle.
Medial ankle pain
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction - pain and loss of arch height.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome - nerve entrapment leading to medial ankle pain.

sprains - traumatic injury to the ankle. Most commonly found to
occur on the lateral ankle.
