The swelling on the top of the foot after heel fracture is hard to disappear, which is related to the body position, fracture injury stimulation, and premature activities on the ground.
1. Body position factor: the heel bone is at the lowest part of the foot, due to daily life, work requirements, etc., it will cause the foot to be in a long-term low position, affecting the blood return and leading to heel bone fracture foot surface not long-term swelling.
2. Fracture injury stimulation: heel bone fracture can stimulate the surrounding tissues to occur aseptic inflammatory response, inflammatory factor release exists in the fracture initiation and fracture recovery in the late stage, inflammatory factor will lead to changes in the peripheral blood supply permeability to appear tissue edema, i.e., edema of the foot.
3. Premature activity: For most of the lower limb fractures, absolute bed rest and braking is generally required to promote fracture healing and swelling, etc. Premature activity will affect the blood circulation of the fracture site. In addition, the fracture has not completely healed, early activities will aggravate the swelling on the surface of the foot, which is difficult to eliminate.
It is recommended to consult a doctor to clarify the condition of the fracture and treat it in time.
