After an ankle fracture, the affected limb needs to be elevated, with the toes pointing upwards and in a supine position. 1. Elevate the affected limb: At night, you can elevate the affected limb above the heart level to promote blood flow back to the heart and reduce swelling. 2. Toe-up: Toe-up ensures a normal position and prevents misalignment of the fracture during sleep. 3. Sleeping on the back: Sleeping on the back can avoid compressing the fracture site during sleep. After the ankle fracture, you should avoid early weight bearing, and should carry out gradual rehabilitation training under the guidance of the physician, and if there is any discomfort, timely follow-up examination.
