Ankle impingement by an osseous growth, spur, can be the main source of pain with many biomechanical and functional movements.

Anatomically the ankle is composed of three joints: talocrural joint, subtalar joint, and inferior tibiofibular joint. The ankle joint is special in that all surfaces of the joint are covered in articular cartilage, which can be a mechanical disadvantage if injured. Cartilage as a whole does not have neural or vascular supply, therefore any injury to the cartilage will not be able to heal properly. If enough cartilage damage is done to the level of the subchondral bone, an area of vascularity, it is possible that some of the articular cartilage may be healed with fibrocartilage. Although fibrocartilage indicates healing in the ankle joint, it has decreased biomechanical benefits and can lead to impingement. Typically articular cartialge will not induce pain, due to the lack of neural input. However, if pain is felt after the ankle swelling has reduced, it is likely the pain is referred from another source such as an osseous spur.
The ankle joint is surrounded by many ligaments that hold all of the boney attachments together. Functionally speaking, the ankle is a joint of mobility and is the key player in determining the functionality for all the other major joints of the body. Athletes who have difficulty moving their ankle through ranges of motion or have pain upon movement can possibly have a restricted ankle joint, but the main cause is due to poor biomechanics from a previous overuse injury and fatiguing of the soft tissue. Among the ligaments found in the ankle, the strongest ligament of the ankle joint is the deltoid ligament, found on the inside. The other three ligaments, anterior and posterior talofibular ligaments, and calcaneofibular ligaments are found laterally and the area of insult with a classic inversion ankle sprain. Once the ankle is malpositioned, the ligaments become lax and unstable in efforts of preventing dysfunctional movement. Ankle sprains are usually caused by intense, repetitive movements applying too much pressure to the muscles and joints. The ankle is found to be most stable in the closed pack position, dorsiflexion, and most injuries are attained with plantar flexion. Running, ice skating, plyometric exercise are all activities with repetitive ankle motion and can lead to injury.
When observing the ankle for motion, the patient may experience pain through the ranges of motion, which is a good indicator of an impingement and there is some sort of restriction in the soft tissue or in the joint. To fully diagnose a healed ankle with dyskinesis or pain imaging should also be considered in diagnosis to rule out any osseous fracture, joint degeneration, impingement from an osseous structure, or arthritis in the joint. The best source of imaging for the ankle joint is an arthroscopy. If a sprain is concluded another source of imaging would be a musculoskeletal ultrasound to further evaluate the scar tissue in the soft tissue preventing full range of motion in addition to pain upon exertion.

Possible treatments for ankle impingement:
Active Release Technique
Graston
Eccentric rehabilitative exercises
Stretching
RICE (rest, ice, compress, elevate)
Surgery based on the severity of the tear to reattach the muscle tendon
Steroid injections
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory medications
