Ankle fractures are the fourth most common type of fracture seen in adults, and most often occur in active adults and the elderly. The term ankle fracture can refer to one or more breaks in any of the bones that comprise the ankle joint, including the tibia, the fibula, or the talus. One of the most widely used systems to classify ankle fractures is the Danis-Weber fracture classification. Understanding this system is essential as safe and effective rehabilitation of the ankle will be directly influenced by the type of fracture diagnosed.

Sinus tarsi syndrome is a relatively uncommon condition but can be a persistent cause of lateral ankle pain when present. The sinus tarsi is a small canal located between the talus and calcaneus bones in the hindfoot, near the outside of the ankle joint. This syndrome typically involves irritation and inflammation within the sinus tarsi, often triggered by trauma such as an ankle sprain, chronic instability, or repetitive loading from side-to-side foot movements. Once painful, the condition can significantly limit a person’s activity levels.

Tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is a progressive condition affecting the tendon that supports the arch of the foot. It can cause pain, weakness, and a gradual collapse of the arch. Often starting with inflammation and pain, PTTD may progress to tendon elongation or rupture if left untreated. Early recognition and physiotherapy can help slow or reverse symptoms, especially in the mild early stages.

The Ilio-Tibial Band—commonly referred to as the ITB—is a thick band of fascia (connective tissue) running down the outer side of your thigh. It stretches from the hip to the knee, attaching at the lateral condyle of the tibia. Despite being nicknamed the “runner’s muscle,” the ITB is not a muscle. Instead, it is a long, fibrous structure that receives input from nearby muscles.
