Roughly 85% of all acute ankle injuries are sprains; most are uncomplicated and involve only the lateral ligaments. However, there are five fractures that must be considered in the evaluation of acute ankle injuries. Of these, two occur to the proximal portion of the fifth metatarsal, and two occur to the distal third of the fibula. These are easily detectablae by palpation before the onset of soft tissue swelling. Even after the onset of significant soft tissue swelling and generalized discomfort, discrete tenderness can usually be elicited at the fracture site. The fifth fracture occurs to the dome of the talus, which is located inside the ankle joint and is not accessible to detection by palpation.
