Inversion and eversion
64
1. Forceful inversion and eversion may tear
the collateral ligaments of the ankle (ankle sprains) especially on lateral side; the malleoli may also be fractured in these types of injury
65
2. Fractures of neck of talus may interrupt
blood supply to post. Part of bone causing avascular necrosis
66
1. Achilles tendon rupture tends to occur at
maximum stretch (knee extended, ankle dorsiflexed)
67
4. Calcaneal apophysitis (Sever’s disease) affects the
region of insertion of the Achilles tendon in young adolescents during their growth spurts.
