When you break your ankle, you need to judge the severity of the broken ankle according to the symptoms and the impact on your own function. 1. Judge by observing whether the part of the broken foot is deformed, if it is completely deformed, or even the ankle is deformed by 90°, then it may be accompanied by fracture, that is to say, the broken foot is more serious; if the deformity of the ankle is small, it is also necessary to consider that there is a possibility of fracture. 2. If there is no deformity in the ankle, but there is swelling and bruising, the affected limb can be weight-bearing for observation. If there is severe pain or even bone friction when weight-bearing on the ground, there may be a fracture in the ankle, and the broken foot is more serious at this time; if you can weight-bear a little, a bone fracture may have occurred. 3. If you can walk after breaking your ankle, and only have a slight localized pressure pain, you may just have a soft tissue contusion, which means that the situation of breaking your ankle is relatively light at this time. When a broken foot occurs, if it affects the daily functional activities, you should go to the hospital in time to take X-ray film, etc., to clarify the condition and targeted treatment.
