English translation:swollen ankle
Explanation:
Or
ankle with plastic swelling

I lean towards leaving the 'plastic' out for the sake of fluid translation. But if maximum accuracy is desired, I would use something like 'plastic swelling'. The 'plastic' is as opposed to 'elastic', I assume.

Asker: Thanks. I'm afraid the word 'plastic' doesn't convey a clear meaning, but it suggests 'malleable' or something like that.
