How to deal with a broken foot after playing basketball

After playing basketball with a broken foot, you can deal with it in the following ways: First, if the patient only has ligament strains and soft tissue edema, you can temporarily brake the ankle joint, apply compression bandages and apply cold compresses continuously, which can promote the repair of the injury. Secondly, for severe ankle sprains, it is necessary to conduct frontal and lateral ankle joint, X-ray and ankle MRI to confirm whether there is fracture dislocation and ligament tear. If there is a fracture dislocation, it needs to be fixed by repositioning or even by internal fixation with an incisional plate screw. If there is a ligament tear, the treatment will depend on the extent of the ligament tear, ranging from a brace for about six weeks in mild cases to ligamentous stop reconstruction or ligament reconstruction in severe cases. The stability of the ankle joint is restored through treatment so that the patient can return to normal life and sports.
