Syndesmosis (or 'high') ankle injuries are common in agility based sports, like AFL and soccer, and in dancers. Careful management is required for a successful return to activity.
An Achilles tendon rupture is a complete or partial tear of the tendon resulting from sudden or excessive force, such as during a rapid change of direction, jumping, or pushing off forcefully.
Achilles tendinopathy can be well managed when treated early, minimising time lost to sport and recreational activities.
Retrocalcaneal bursitis is a painful, transient condition of the heel that responds very well to conservative treatment and physiotherapy.
Lisfranc injury is a somewhat rare, complex injury that can have significant complications if not managed well and respected by the owner.
Ankle sprains are a really common injury with the highest rate of recurrence of any musculoskeletal injury. Why is it so? Isn't it “just” an ankle sprain? Here's why you might just want to get that twisted ankle checked out.
