Those who know about ankle fracture will know that it is a rather painful event. Ankle fracture not only affects the person walking, but also affects the friends around them, and it is a common injury in orthopedics, caused by indirect violence. How are foot and ankle fractures treated? Here we will discuss the treatment of foot and ankle fractures. Ankle fracture treatment The ankle structure is complex, and the mechanism of violence and fracture types are also diverse. The principle of treatment is to restore the structure and stability of the ankle joint on the basis of a full understanding of the characteristics of the injury, and to select a flexible treatment plan. If the ligaments attached to the fracture are loosened, it is difficult to successfully reposition the fracture manually, and even if the fracture is successfully repositioned, the ligament tension should be maintained by incision and repositioning, internal fixation with cancellous bone screws or absorbable screws. In order to prevent postoperative instability, the fracture should be fixed in a plaster cast of the inferior tibiofibular joint with screws for 6-8 weeks. Type I fracture is a double ankle fracture. In order to restore the tension of the ligament, an incision should be made and the fracture should be internally fixed with cancellous bone screws or absorbable screws made of polymer material for 8-12 weeks. Type II fracture is a triple ankle fracture, the inner ankle fracture is fixed with cancellous bone screws or absorbable screws, the outer ankle fracture often requires plate fixation, and the posterior ankle fracture affecting the 1/3-1/4 joint surface of the tibia also needs to be fixed with cancellous bone screws or absorbable screws. Type III fractures require internal fixation with plate screws in addition to incision and internal fixation of the inner ankle, and internal fixation of the outer ankle or fibula fractures.
