Patients with ankle fracture should pay attention to the following points when sleeping: First, the foot should be properly padded, and the affected limb can be elevated by 30-45 degrees using pillows, quilts and mattresses, which is good for blood circulation and the swelling of the foot and ankle, and is also good for the absorption of bruises at the fracture end, so that the fracture can heal as soon as possible. Second, you can use quilts to cover the toes to prevent the foot from getting cold and frostbite. Third, in the heel area and the inner and outer ankle areas, these bony protrusions are prone to pressure ulcers for a long period of time, which is often referred to as bedsores. Therefore, when sleeping, the inner and outer ankles and heels should be padded with cotton and sponge to prevent pressure sores.
