A broken foot, medically known as an ankle sprain, is a common occurrence in people’s lives. This kind of trauma is an injury in which an external force causes the foot and ankle to exceed their maximum range of motion, causing the muscles, ligaments, and even the joint capsule around the joint to be pulled and torn, resulting in pain, swelling, and a limp. Since the angle of normal ankle inversion is much larger than that of outversion, when you break your ankle, your foot is usually twisted inward and the injured part is the outer ankle. Often broken foot or the first broken foot did not handle well If often appear broken foot, most is due to the first broken foot after improper treatment, resulting in ankle joint instability, frequent broken foot. Most ankle sprains occur in the inversion position, which can easily cause lateral ankle ligament injury, especially the anterior talofibular ligament and the heel fibular ligament. After the first ankle sprain, many people’s view of treatment is “trivial”, the next day to continue to live or exercise as usual, this method is not right. There are also some people after the first wrenched foot first rubbing the painful places, followed by hot water to wash the feet, blood swelling, and finally endured the pain walking, activities, in order not to “store the tendons”. But practice has proved that this disposal of broken feet is not appropriate. Because the local small blood vessel rupture bleeding and oozing tissue fluid together will form a hematoma, generally after 24 hours or so to repair, stop bleeding and oozing. If the injury is immediately rubbed vigorously, hot compresses, washing and ironing, forced activities, will inevitably rub part of the blood stasis at the same time accelerate the bleeding and oozing, and even aggravate the rupture of blood vessels, resulting in the formation of a larger hematoma, so that the injured part of the swelling on the swelling, the pain on the pain People often say that the “stored tendons,” in fact, after the injury of the soft tissues to adhere to the impact of the functional activities. This situation usually occurs in the middle of the injury. This situation usually occurs in the middle and late stages of injury. Therefore, the limitation of activities within a few days after the injury is generally due to pain, rather than adhesion caused by the “storage of tendons”. What to do after the first sprained ankle After the first ankle sprain, patients with mild pain should take elastic bandage or ankle brace to protect the ankle joint for three weeks, and patients with severe pain should go to the hospital to receive plaster external fixation for 3-6 weeks. The purpose of this treatment is to let the damaged ankle ligaments to be able to recover, to avoid future ligament laxity leads to frequent broken feet like you. Habitual broken foot is best to wear less high-heeled shoes For those who have a habitual broken foot, choose shoes to pay special attention. If you wear high-heeled shoes, after the heel elevation, the ankle acupuncture point increases accordingly, the ligaments are relatively in the slack position, walking ankle joint stability is poor, more likely to cause foot sprains. For some people with poor balance, walking often twisted to the foot, such people are best to wear less high-heeled shoes.
