Introduction
Ankle and foot injuries are common musculoskeletal injuries in the general population, as well as in athletes of all levels. Injuries may occur when movements are performed excessively, repetitively, and for a long duration, thus exceeding tissue capabilities. The primary function of the foot and ankle complex is weight-bearing. Other functions include maintaining balance, upright posture and recognising body position in space. A good understanding of the relevant anatomy is essential for diagnosing and treating ankle and foot injuries.
