BONES & JOINTS 

The most serious ankle injuries you can get


Luke Shaw suffered horrendous injury in Champions League game for Manchester United. Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey experience will surely be an inspiration for the young England defender’s return to Premier League action.

 

Ankle fractures are usually caused be direct contact. This can happen in football when a player whose foot is planted on the ground is then tackled by an opponent, studs first, with the studs hitting the ankle bones. This results in high energy type fractures to the bone due to the amount of force being channelled through the small contact area of a stud.

 

 Players who've had this injury:

  • Henrik Larsson playing for Celtic v Lyon in 1999
  • Djibril Cisse playing Liverpool v Blackburn in 2004
  • Eduardo playing for Arsenal v Birmingham FC in 2008
  • Aaron Ramsey playing for Arsenal v Stoke in 2010

IMPACT

 

 

Contact injuries suffered by the likes of Aaron Ramsey of Arsenal, normally need an operation. This involves fixing the bones that have been broken with metal plates and screws. These are serious injuries and are rare. If treated properly by good surgery and expert rehabilitation, the player can get back to full fitness within four to six months.

SERIOUS

 

 

Players can make full recoveries. Aaron Ramsey is definite proof of this

Minor (simple breaks) fractures, without disrupting the ankle joint, can be treated without having an operation. 

A player with this type of injury is put into a plaster cast or supportive boot for a period of six to eight weeks.

Getting called up to play for the England national team should be one of the greatest ever experiences for a footballer. For this former Premier League star, it was the beginning of a personal hell.

 

These types of ankle fractures are usually caused by twisting, forces from landing or block tackling. 

In both cases, if the fracture involves the ankle joint, which can be quite common, something called arthritis can develop. This is where the protective cartilage in the ankle wears/breaks away and the joint basically becomes bone on bone.

The Manchester United backroom staff worked around the clock to make sure their £30m asset recovered quickly and safely.  Luke Shaw was becoming a regular fixture in Roy Hodgson's England squad and was tipped to have been his number one choice for Euros in France. His return to Premier League action will be monitored closely. Our injury team will show the rehabilitation program used to recover from such injuries as he starts the road to recovery.
