S93.0: Dislocation of ankle joint
An injury has dislocated your upper ankle.
The foot is made up of a lot of small bones and joints. The lower leg is connected to the tarsus. Then comes the metatarsus and then the individual toes. The anklebone is part of the tarsus. The foot connects to the lower leg via the talus. This connection is known as the upper ankle joint.
When joints are dislocated, the bones are no longer properly aligned.
When the bones are improperly aligned it can be painful or you may be unable to move your foot properly.
