An ankle fracture (or broken ankle) means that one or more of the ankle bones are broken. A fracture is synonymous with a break. The ankle is made up two leg bones (the tibia and fibula) and one foot bone (talus). Fracture of the leg portion of the ankle joint may create bone instability and the position of the ankle may shift, called a fracture dislocation â which is more serious. Ankle fractures are generally the result of a trauma or injury.
