What is Footballer's Ankle?

Footballer’s ankle, also known as anterior impingement syndrome, is a condition that affects the ankle joint. It is a common injury among athletes, particularly football players, hence the name. Footballer’s ankles are caused by repetitive kicking and overuse of the ankle joint, which can result in inflammation, pain, and stiffness.

Types

There are two types of footballer’s ankle:

  1. Bony footballer’s ankle: as the shin bone jars against the ankle bone, it reacts by trying to heal itself – producing a bone spur. This bony lump causes tendons, ligaments or other soft tissues to get trapped when your foot is pulled upwards (dorsiflexion).
  2. Soft tissue footballer’s ankle: soft tissue (tendons, ligaments or joint capsule) becomes pinched between the talus (ankle bone) and the tibia (leg bone). It can occur as a result of repetitive kicking or flexing, or after an ankle sprain – where scar tissue on a torn ligament makes it thicker.
