ankle & foot

The ankle joint connects the lower leg to the foot and can be divided into the upper and lower ankle joints. The main movement is the lifting and lowering of the foot's tip. Slight lateral movements are also possible. With our extensive experience with recreational and elite athletes, we are able to diagnose and treat almost any condition of the ankle and foot.

Lateral Ligaments

The lateral ligament complex consists of three ligaments that connect the lower leg to the foot. They provide stability and can be injured during ankle sprains or twisting injuries to the ankle joint.

Outer Ankle - Lateral Malleolus

The lateral malleolus, or the outer ankle, is the bony prominence on the outer side of the ankle joint, formed by the distal end of the fibula. Injuries in the area of the lateral malleolus can result in fractures or ligament injuries.

Syndesmose

The syndesmosis is a ligamentous connection between the outer ankle and the shinbone. Injuries can lead to instability and require treatment.

Misalignment of the big toe

The big toe is a crucial part of walking and standing posture. Wear and tear or excessive strain can lead to misalignment or pain. One of the most well-known misalignments is the hallux valgus or bunion.

Morton Neurinom

Thickening of nerves can lead to pain in the forefoot area. Direct pressure and tight footwear can be perceived as painful in this condition.

Medial Collateral Ligament - Deltoid Ligament

The triangular-shaped band on the inner ankle, also known as the deltoid ligament, connects the lower leg to the foot. It provides stability on the inner side and can be injured during ankle sprains or twisting injuries to the ankle.

Upper Ankle

The upper ankle provides movement in the vertical plane. Various sports can lead to increased stress in this area. Besides cartilage, there can also be disorders involving the bone or synovial membrane of the joint.

Malpositioning in the foot area

Malpositioning in the foot area can lead to pain and restricted movement. Depending on the cause, therapy steps should be taken to improve foot alignment.

Misalignments of the other toes

Besides the big toe, misalignments of the other toes can also occur, often resulting in pain and shoe discomfort.

Prof. Dr. Andreas Janousek

Sports place significant stress on the ankle joint, leading to both acute injuries like sprains and chronic damage. These should be promptly diagnosed and treated to prevent long-term issues and restore full ankle function.
