Symptoms of ankle sprain in children

The main symptoms of ankle cartilage injury are pain and limited movement during ankle movement. In the early stage, pain occurs during activity, and later even at rest. Most of the pain sites are in front of the ankle. When kicking the ball on the instep, the osteophyte at the back of the ankle collides with the soft tissue to produce pain. During sprint and jump, the anterior lip of tibia and neck of talus collide to produce pain. With the proliferation of osteophyte, the thickening of synovial sac and the formation of free body, the limitation of joint activity becomes more and more obvious until the range of joint activity decreases significantly.

Articular surface fricative sound may be articular surface fricative sound, which is mainly caused by the friction of rough articular surface and hypertrophic synovium or free body.

Signs: slight swelling, tenderness, friction feeling and friction sound of joint, and reduction of joint space. Free bodies can be detected occasionally.
