Just need to ask a question to some musculoskeletal folk, as I don't normally see acute ankle injuries...

A colleague sustained a nasty (right) ankle injury 2 weeks ago whislt playing football. Mechanism of injury was inversion with pressure to the back of the calf, as an opponent missed a tackle.

He has had severe swelling since the injury, some of which is still pitting - specifically over the anterior distal third of the Tib and fib.

Is the pitting any cause for concern? It may be that it is quite common, but I haven't come across is post injury before (although its not technically my field).

Thanks in advance,
Rebecca
