An osseous ligament rupture in the ankle joint can conceal a distorsion. The exact diagnosis is possible only by X-ray. The origin of those injuries is frequently twisting of the ankle by walking on smooth or uneven ground. Osseous ligament tear out injuries in the ankle joint are found frequently in defined areas of ligament-passage points and insertions of the ankle joint. Mostly the collateral ligaments are concerned.
