Ankle

The ankle is the hinge joint connecting the foot to the leg, commonly injured through sprains and strains. It also refers to the ankle tag, an electronic monitoring device worn around the ankle as a court-ordered condition.

Why it’s in the news: Multiple footballers and performers (Gakpo, Valverde, a Katseye member) are sidelined with ankle injuries, while a Paris court ordered an ankle tag on a convicted school aide and a report links frequent ankle sprains to a genetic nerve disorder.
