“Ankle hardware pain”
I had an ankle ligament repair with the anthrex internal brace six years ago. Last week I heard and felt a pop in the same spot. It hurts to move my ankle out. My walking is not affected. Could it have been damaged?

Probably popped the Arthrex internal tape.If the ankle functions ok the ligaments are probably not damaged and any pain with ankle eversion should be temporary.If pain lingers beyond 4 weeks check with your surgeon
Yes. Needs to be checked prob xray Jack Jensen MD FACSM Athletic Orthopedics & Knee Center AOK Urgent Orthocare 9180 Katy Fwy. Houston Texas 77055 713-984-1400 713-984-1400. AOKC.net Houston, Texas 77055 714-984-1400
You definitely need to be seen by your ortho for a check and possible MRI
