Not realy: This common term some people used to refer to symptoms coming from the ankle in general could be due to fracture, could be due to arthritis. Thank.

Ankle pain: The medical meaning of ankle pain would be any pain that is specifically related to the tibiotalar joint though some patients will complain of "ankle pain" when the pain is actually originating from the adjacent subtalar joint or the tendons and ligaments of the ankle.
