Differential Diagnosis
Ankle pain persistent following injury
- Fractures - anterior process calcaneus, lateral process talus, posterior process talus (or, rare, os trigonum fracture), osteochondral lesion, tibial plafond chondral lesion, base of fifth metatarsal
- Bony impingements - anterior, posterior, anterolateral
- Atypical sprains - chronic ligamentous instability, medial ligament sprain, syndesmosis sprain (AITFL sprain), subtalar joint sprain
- Tendon injuries - chronic peroneal tendon weakness, peroneal tendon subluxation/rupture, tibialis posterior tendon subluxation/rupture
- Other - inadequate rehabiliation, chronic synovitis, sinus tarsi syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome type 1
Lateral Ankle Pain
- Peroneal Tendinopathy
- Sinus Tarsi Syndrome
- Impingement syndrome (anterolateral, posterior)
- Recurrent dislocation of peroneal tendons
- Stress fractures (talus, distal fibula)
- Referred pain (lumbar, peroneal nerve, superior tibiofibular joint)
- Cuboid Syndrome
- Complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (following knee or ankle injury)
Medial Ankle Pain
- Tibialis Posterior Tendinopathy
- Flexor Hallucis Longus Tendinopathy
- Medial Calcaneal Nerve Entrapment
- Stress fracture (calcaneal, talar, medial malleolarnavicular
- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
- Posterior Ankle Impingement
- Referred pain from lumbar spine
- Complications of acute ankle injuries
- Complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (following knee or ankle injury)
Posterior Ankle Pain
- Midportion Achilles Tendinopathy (this includes tendinosis, paratendonitis, and partial tears)
- Posterior impingement syndrome
- Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy (including retrocalcaneal bursitis and haglund's disease)
- Plantaris Tendinopathy
- Sever's disease (adolescents)
- Achilles bursitis
- Accessory or low soleus muscle
- Referred pain (neural structures, lumbar spine), and sural neuropathy
- Achilles tendon rupture
- Achilles tendinopathy due to inflammatory arthropathies
