Ankle mortise is the bony structure formed by the joining of the tibia, fibula, and talus bones in the ankle joint. It provides stability and allows for movement of the ankle joint.
Ankle dorsiflexion occurs in the sagittal plane. This movement involves flexion of the ankle joint, bringing the toes closer to the shin. It is an essential component of walking, running, and various lower body movements.
An Ilizarov frame for ankle fixation involves applying circular rings and fixators around the ankle, connected by threaded rods. The frame stabilizes the ankle bones and joints, allowing for gradual correction of deformities or bone healing. Physicians adjust the frame periodically to achieve the desired alignment and promote bone fusion.
When there is no cartilage left in the ankle joint, the bones can rub against each other, causing pain and limited mobility. Treatment options include ankle fusion to stabilize the joint or ankle replacement surgery to replace the damaged joint with an artificial one. Physical therapy and pain management techniques can also be helpful in managing symptoms.
An ankle brace primarily provides support and stability to the ankle joint, which can indirectly benefit the foot by reducing excessive movement and potentially preventing injuries such as sprains. However, an ankle brace may not provide direct support to the foot itself or address specific foot-related issues.
I had an ankle fusion three years ago and still in pain.
not very well Answer In most cases, ankle fusion can last a lifetime and prevents the ankle joint from moving while walking or when engaged in other activities.
The term used to describe a fusion of the ankles is ankle arthrodesis.
The removal of an ankle bone is called an ankle arthroplasty or ankle fusion surgery. This procedure may be necessary in cases of severe arthritis, trauma, or deformity that affects the ankle joint.
Ankle dorsiflexion is when the ankle is moved back towards the body. The muscles involved in this movement is the ankle extensor.

Dorsiflexion
In United States, and depending on approach to surgery, ankle fusion surgery may cost between $30,000 and $43,000. Cost will also depend on location, hospitalization costs, and doctors fees. However, patients traveling to foreign locations such as Costa Rica, India or Mexico may spend an average of between $4,000 and $8,000 on ankle fusion surgery using an arthroscopic approach.

name and explain the five anatomical factors that limit movement for flexibility
yes, it limits you from every sport that has to do with feet.
The knee joint (flexion, movement of the leg) and the ankle joint (plantarflexion, movement of the foot)
