Abstract
Ankle fractures following trauma may be suspected by the astute clinician. However, major disability can result from inappropriate treatment caused by unrecognized soft tissue pathology. The author reviews ankle joint anatomy and mechanisms of injury in an attempt to define the relationships between soft tissue and osseous trauma to that region.
