Chronic ankle pain is a common clinical problem with a wide differential diagnosis. Soft-tissue and osseous impingement syndromes are now increasingly recognized as a significant cause of chronic ankle pain. Ankle impingement syndromes are defined as pathologic conditions resulting in chronic, painful restriction to movement at the tibiotalar articulation secondary to soft-tissue or osseous abnormalities. Ankle impingement is classified according to its anatomic relationship to the tibiotalar joint as anterolateral, anterior, anteromedial, posteromedial, or posterior impingement.
