Pain in Front of Ankle When Walking
Anterior ankle impingement, more commonly known as footballer’s ankle, is a form of chronic ankle pain caused by bone spurs, inflammation, or scar tissue on the front of the ankle bone.
These bone spurs typically are the result of long-term sporting activities that involve kicking, such as soccer (or, to give the sport its European name, football). This is because repeated kicking motions will move the ankle to its extremes.
If you’re experiencing pain in the front of your ankle when walking, or ankle pain after running, call one of our Dallas orthopedic surgeons.
