If you choose to treat an ankle fracture with TCM, you need to clarify whether the ankle fracture constitutes an indication for surgery. If the fracture constitutes an indication for surgery, do not blindly choose Chinese medicine for treatment. Most of the time, the recovery period is about 2 months. The method of treating ankle fracture in TCM is to choose external fixation with plaster or splint to fix the fracture end and protect the fracture section to prevent the fracture end from being displaced again. During this period, you can apply Chinese herbal medicine or proprietary Chinese medicine for targeted treatment. During the period of 2 weeks, most of the herbal remedies are taken orally to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Blood Mansion and Blood Stasis Soup, Fuyuan and Blood Activation Soup, and Qilisan. During the period of 2-4 weeks, most of the fractures are in the healing stage. At this stage, oral medications to promote fracture healing can be considered, such as Bone Splicing Capsules and Bone Splicing Dan. After 6 weeks, most of the fractures are in the bone scab shaping stage. During this stage, most of the fractures are treated with oral medications to promote qi and blood, such as Bazhen Tang, Sijunzi Tang and Siwu Tang. Most of the time, the herbal treatment can reach the standard of recovery in about 8 weeks, that is, 2 months.
