Ankle dislocation is almost always accompanied by a sprain or fracture. When the ankle is dislocated, adjacent bones in the joint are displaced to a point where they no longer touch each other. During ankle dislocation, the ankle joint's bones, including the humerus, tibia and talus, soft tissues around the ligaments and dislocated bones, including tendons, muscles, nerves and blood vessels, are affected.
