Monmouth junior guard Justin Robinson suffered a broken ankle at a young age, but that didn’t stop him from going on to become one of the nation’s top 30 in scoring. Considered 26th in the nation, Robinson “set a school record for victories,” but he says he is “just focused on winning basketball games, and making sure the Monmouth University basketball team stays in the right direction.”
Broken ankles require immediate treatment. If you have any concerns about your feet and ankles visit Dr. Mayer Salama, D.P.M. of Salama Foot Care. Dr. Salama will assess your injury and provide you with quality treatment.
Broken Ankles
A broken ankle is experienced when a person fractures their tibia or fibula in the lower leg and ankle area. Both these bones are attached at the bottom of the leg and combine to form what we know to be our ankle.
When a physician is referring to a break of the ankle, he or she is usually referring to a break in the area where the tibia and fibula are joined to create our ankle joint. Ankles are more prone to fractures because the ankle is an area that suffers a lot of pressure and stress. There are some obvious signs when a person experiences a fractured ankle and the following symptoms may be present.
Symptoms of a Fractured Ankle
