Ankle Classification/Diagnoses Flashcards
Inversion Ankle Sprain
Location of Symptoms
-pain, swelling over lateral ankle
Eversion Ankle Sprain
Location of Symptoms
-pain, swelling on medial ankle
Cuboid Syndrome
Location of Symptoms
- lateral plantar pain
- feels like rock in shoe
- pain is constant and lasts longer than normal healing processes of lat ankle sprain
Cuboid Syndrome
Mechanism of Injury
- plantarflexion + inversion injury
- minor subluxation of calcaneocuboid alignment that irritates the ligaments, cuboid and peroneus longus
Tendon Injury–Achilles Rupture
Location of Symptoms
- sudden pain over post ankle/leg
- balled up muscle
Tendon Injury–Posterior Tibial Tendonitis
Location of Symptoms
- pain at medial malleoli along tendon
- pain medial ankle but can progress to lateral ankle if not treated
Tibial Stress Syndrome/Fracture
Location of Symptoms
- Pain along post medial tibia or ant lat
- proximal 2/3 of tibia
-“shin splints”
Posterior Tibial Nerve Entrapment
Location of Symptoms
- local edema
- burning pain and paresthesia to sole of foot
Plantar Fasciitis
Location of Symptoms
- pain on heel of foot
- pain plantar surface of foot
- pain in morning but eases with movement
OA/DJD
Location of Symptoms
- Pain and stiffness in foot/ankle
- swelling
- stiff in morning
(foot OA less common)
Bursitis
Location of Symptoms
- calcaneal/retrocalcaneal bursitis=tender/painful at calcaneous
- subcalcaneal bursitis=tender under heel on plantar surface
(rule out plantar fasciitis, heel spur)

Inversion Sprain
History
- plantarflexion + Inversion injury
- check integrity of superficial peroneal nerve
- weak lateral collateral ligaments
Eversion Sprain
History
- stress on medial collateral ligaments (deltoid)
- due to excessive eversion
- can be accompanied with talus or medial malleoli fracture
