The ankle joint is the largest flexor plantar joint of the human body. It is composed of the medial and lateral ankles and talus at the lower end of the tibia and fibula. The talus is surrounded by the ankle points composed of the medial malleolus of the tibia, hind ankle, and lateral malleolus of the fibula. It is firmly fixed by the ligaments. Inside the ankle. Because the talar body is in the ankle point, surrounded by strong ligaments, it is firm and stable. When the ankle joint is severely injured, it is often accompanied by fracture and dislocation of the ankle joint, and simple ankle joint dislocation is also extremely rare, and most of them have fractures. Dislocation-based ankle injuries with minor fractures are referred to as ankle dislocations. Dislocation of the ankle joint is mostly caused by indirect violence, such as sacral or twisted injuries. It is common to fall from a high place, to land on the inside or outside of the foot, or to walk on uneven roads, or to slip on the ground, causing the foot to rotate, varus or valgus excessively, often forming dislocation, and often with fractures. According to the dislocation direction, it can be divided into: external dislocation, internal dislocation, anterior dislocation, and posterior dislocation. In general, medial dislocations are more common, followed by lateral dislocations and open dislocations, posterior dislocations are rare, and anterior dislocations are rare.
