What are the causes of an ankle fracture?
A broken ankle is commonly the result of a rotational or rolling injury; much like how the ankle rolls when it is sprained. A high-impact injury like a fall or accident can also result in a fractured ankle.
Treatments for a Broken Ankle
Treatment options for a broken ankle differ depending on the severity of the injury. If the broken bones are not out of place and the ankle is stable, the injury can usually be treated non-surgically. These treatment options include walking boot, cast, or removable brace. However, if the ankle is unstable, broken in more than one place, or the fracture is out of place, surgery may be required to align the joint in the correct position

Achilles Injuries - The Achilles tendon is used in almost every activity that involves moving your foot. Injuring the Achilles can be very painful and end your mobility.
Posterior Tibial Tendon Tear - This tendon takes a beating supporting the foot and arch while walking. It can sometimes be too much, resulting in this tendon's dysfunction.
Peroneal Tendon Tear - Two peroneal tendons are behind the outside ankle and stabilize the joint outward. These weaker muscles and tendons are prone to injury from ankle turns and rolls.
