When it comes to the foot and ankle, pain at any stage is a sign that something is wrong. A pain-free life is your most natural right. Many diseases, deformities, biomechanical conditions and injuries can cause pain in the foot and ankle.
At the Can Hastanesi Orthopedics Clinic, we treat foot and ankle problems with the most up-to-date approaches and the newest, most advanced treatment methods.
Although some foot complaints resolve within a few weeks, many take a long time. If these disorders are not treated, or if you return to your daily activities too early, they are very likely to recur.
ANKLE SPRAIN:
Your ankle is a mechanical marvel. Many bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons form a system that allows you to walk and run. This joint can be likened to a hinge that withstands a load of 1.5 times your body weight when you walk and 8 times your body weight when you run. An ankle sprain occurs when the ligaments here are stretched beyond their capacity or torn.
The ligaments on the outer side of your ankle are damaged more often. About half of all sprains occur during sports activities. Soccer, basketball, tennis and running are the sports most likely to cause them.
