10 Broken Ankle Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Disfigurement
The structure of our skeleton determines much of the structure of our body overall. It helps to determine how tall we are, for example, and also helps determine our overall shape. Fat and muscle can make quite a difference, of course, but the shape of the skeleton is more noticeable in areas such as the ankles.
If you do break your ankle then you may notice that the ankle is bent out of its usual shape. The foot can appear to be bent at an unusual angle and look clearly disfigured. Medical professionals will often need to correct the position of bones after a break before the healing process can begin.
