Actor Wesley Snipes has been released from a federal prison where he was serving a three-year sentence after being convicted on tax charges in February 2010. The release to a supervised residential location in New York occurred Tuesday, the Federal Bureau of Prisons told CNN.
The ankle is the most commonly injured joint, according to a 2009 âAmerican Family Physicianâ article. The repetitive flexion and extension of your ankle during walking can lead to pain and injury -- or it can aggravate an existing condition. Ankle pain can be a symptom of an ankle sprain, osteoarthritis and tendinitis. Treatment includes anti-inflammatory drugs, rest, and ice.
The bony knobs located on each side of the ankle are called malleoli and they provide stability to the joints that are necessary in order for a person to stand and walk properly, along with the ligaments on each side of the ankle. The tendons that attach the muscles in this lower region of the leg all wrap around the ankle from the front and back. The muscles that move the ankle are found on both the front and back of the leg and are very powerful. They are the muscles that work most when walking. Some possible injuries that can occur to the ankle include sprains and fractures.
