Ankle Impingement
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When ankle pain appears in forced positions or when practicing certain sports, it is worth knowing about ankle impingement, a condition in which soft tissues or bony structures become trapped or compressed within the joint when moving the foot.
When to seek care? An evaluation is recommended if the pain recurs with certain movements, limits activity, or does not improve with rest.
Common symptoms: localized pain when flexing or extending the ankle, a sensation of blocking, swelling, and sometimes limitation of movement.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist is the one who evaluates the joint and determines the origin of the impingement. If ankle pain persists or interferes with your activities, the most sensible thing is for this professional to review the case.
