Can sacral fissure cause swollen right ankle

Sacral fissure can also cause ankle swelling symptoms. Ankle swelling is mainly caused by poor blood circulation in the lower limbs or nerve vessel stimulation. Sacral fissure is caused by the lack of union of the posterior part of the vertebral arch on both sides, and different degrees of cracks in the spinous process or lamina, mainly due to the development of cartilage centers or osteogenic centers in the embryonic period, resulting in low back pain and leg pain symptoms. Poor circulation in the lumbosacral region can irritate nerve roots, compress blood vessels, affect blood flow in the lower limbs, and show swelling in the ankle area. CT or MRI examination can confirm the diagnosis. Early symptoms are mild and generally do not require special treatment. Adjust sitting posture and standing posture. However, if nerve compression or spina bifida causes tethered cord syndrome, surgery should be performed.
