Evaluation and Treatment of Injured Lateral Ankle Pain

Alex Hunter

The most common condition in patients with lateral ankle pain is an ankle sprain. In the acute setting, it is important to evaluate for subtle fractures that may mimic an ankle sprain, such as fractures of the lateral process of the talus, the anterior process of the calcaneus, or the base of the fifth metatarsal. However, other pathologies can present similarly and require different treatments. What's more, lower leg injuries may likewise include further injury to the syndesmosis (high lower leg hyper-extends), articular ligament (osteochondral sores), or peroneal ligaments.
