Some of these diseases include:

Osteoarthritis (OA)

The most common form of arthritis, OA is a chronic condition caused by the breakdown of the cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones where they meet to form joints. This breakdown causes the bones to rub together, causing stiffness, pain and loss of joint movement. While weight-bearing joints, such as knees and hips, are more commonly affected by, OA, the ankles can be affected too.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when the body’s immune system – which normally protects us from infection – mistakenly attacks joints. The result can be pain, swelling, inflammation and loss of function. In about 90 percent of people with rheumatoid arthritis, the joints of the feet and ankles are often affected.

Gout

Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs when excess uric acid builds up in the bloodstream and forms needle-shaped crystals. The sharp crystals lodge in tissues of the body, including the joints. For many people, the first symptom of gout is severe pain and swelling in the big toe. Future attacks may come and go affecting different joints, including the ankles. After years with the disease, lumps of uric acid, called tophi, may form beneath the skin around the ankles.

Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Crystal Deposition Disease (Pseudogout)

Pseudogout occurs when calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals form within the joints. While this condition most commonly affects the knees, it can also affect the ankles.
