Of all joints in the body, the ankle joint is subjected to the highest forces per square centimeter and is injured more commonly. Yet, the incidence of symptomatic ankle arthritis is much lower than that of the knee and hip. Various mechanical, biochemical and anatomic peculiarities of the ankle account for its apparent resilience to the process of aging and trauma. The goal of this article is to help the reader better understand the functional paradoxes that make the ankle joint a unique and fascinating articulation.
在人体的所有关节中，踝关节每平方厘米承受的力量最大，受伤也更为常见。然而，有症状的踝关节关节炎的发病率远低于膝关节和髋关节。踝关节的各种力学、生化和解剖学特性使其在面对衰老和创伤过程时具有明显的恢复能力。本文的目的是帮助读者更好地理解那些使踝关节成为独特且引人入胜的关节的功能悖论。
