Foot elevation is generally not necessary when the swelling of a foot fracture has resolved. Elevation of the foot is mainly used in the early stages of the fracture when edema is evident, and helps to relieve the symptoms of edema. The fact that the swelling has subsided indicates that the acute exudative swelling in the area of the fracture has passed or that the circulation has improved. Elevation of the foot is generally not necessary in this situation. After the swelling of the fracture has subsided, you can lie in the flat position or on the healthy side with the affected side on top, but avoid localized pressure. You can do ankle pumping exercises to increase the return of blood. You can also take oral medication under the guidance of the doctor to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling, such as musk bone capsule or bone-breaking tablets. After the swelling of the foot fracture has subsided, you can do quadriceps and ankle pump exercises to increase blood return to the lower limbs and prevent muscle atrophy, which will help your condition recover.
