Understanding Ankle Fractures
Ankle fractures are common injuries that can occur due to various reasons, including sports-related injuries, accidents, or falls. These fractures can range from mild to severe, and proper evaluation and treatment are crucial for successful recovery.
Causes and Symptoms
Sports-Related Injuries
Athletes participating in high-impact sports like soccer, basketball, or skateboarding are at a higher risk of ankle fractures. Sudden twists, falls, or direct trauma to the ankle can result in a fracture. Symptoms may include severe pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty bearing weight.
Accidents and Falls
Ankle fractures can also occur as a result of accidents or falls, especially in older adults. The impact from a fall can cause the ankle bone to break. Common symptoms include immediate pain, swelling, tenderness, and an inability to walk without assistance.
Treatment Options
At Redding Integrative Medicine, our skilled orthopedic traumatologists specialize in providing comprehensive and individualized treatment for ankle fractures. Based on the severity of the fracture, treatment options include:
Non-Surgical Treatment
- Immobilization with casts, splints, or braces to allow the fracture to heal
- Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) therapy to reduce swelling and pain
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises to restore strength and flexibility
Surgical Treatment
In some cases, surgery may be necessary to properly realign the broken bones and facilitate healing. Our orthopedic traumatologists are skilled in performing surgical procedures like:
- Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) to align the bones and secure them with screws, plates, or rods
- Minimally invasive techniques, such as arthroscopy, for precise diagnosis and treatment
