A heel fracture that is 120 days old and still walking with a limp can improve the limp after acclimatization and rehabilitation exercises if repeat x-rays show good healing. If it shows poor healing or malunion, continue to maintain the current treatment before improvement.
1. Walking with a limp after 120 days of heel fracture may be due to the fact that the fracture has not been fully adapted to the ground at the beginning, and the symptoms can be gradually improved after continuous adaptation and rehabilitation exercises. The effect of rehabilitation exercise may be slow, so it must be gradual and persistent.
2. If the X-ray shows that the fracture is not healing well, it is necessary to continue the current treatment and reduce the frequency of going down to the ground. After the fracture has healed well, you should start walking gradually to improve your symptoms.
3. If the fracture heals abnormally, the effect of rehabilitation exercises may be mild, and secondary surgical treatment may be used.
When a fracture occurs, it is necessary to actively consult the doctor and follow the doctor’s instructions for reasonable treatment.
