Ankle fractures can be extremely painful, though subtle fractures may only be mildly sore. Other features include:
- Instability / inability to weight bear – inability to put your weight on your foot makes walking and standing difficult.
- Deformity - the ankle looks twisted or abnormal.
- Bruising and swelling
