Ankle and foot injuries are very common injuries in the general population, and more so in athletes.

In this article, the authors discuss the epidemiology, biomechanics, normal anatomy, and pathology of the ankle as well as injuries of the hindfoot and midfoot that are often associated with ankle injuries.
