The ankle is a joint that most people have injured at some point in their lives, even if it's just a minor sprain. The joint is made up of two lower leg bones, ankle bones, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. The ligaments connect the bones, providing stability and support, while the muscles and tendons enable movement, allowing the ankle to flex and extend. Foot and ankle injuries are relatively common, but that doesn't make them any less painful or debilitating. Given the critical role this joint plays in mobility, injuries to the foot or ankle can severely limit movement, sometimes keeping you off your feet for an extended period.
