Ankle sprains are common in orthopedics, both young and old, and can be sustained when playing sports, walking up or down stairs or walking on uneven roads. Many patients do not know how to treat ankle sprains, or they are not treated properly, so the disease is not cured for a long time, which is easy to cure. The following is an introduction to the common treatment methods for ankle sprains, and I hope it will be helpful to such patients. 1, after the ankle sprain should go to the hospital as soon as possible to see orthopedics, listen to the doctor’s opinion. For those with obvious swelling and pain, a radiograph should be taken to exclude fracture. Many patients think that I can still walk, there will be no fracture, so they are too lazy to go to the hospital. 2 – 3 weeks later the condition is still bad, then go to the hospital for examination, it turns out to be a fracture, and it has been dislocated, at this time, it has to be treated by surgery. In fact, no displaced external ankle fracture or avulsion fracture, the patient can also walk, displaced it is a small bone, not weight-bearing. 2, sprain early 1-2 days can be local cold compress (general cold water towel can be applied, if the ice should also be wrapped in a towel, pay attention not to frostbite), never hot compress. 3, appropriate rest, reduce exercise, serious cases with plaster or brace fixed ankle 3-4 weeks, in order to facilitate the repair of damaged ligaments. 4. Take oral and topical Chinese medicines for bruises and bruises to promote local swelling and pain relief, and add anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs to relieve pain and reduce pain. 5.For those who have not recovered from old injuries (more than 1 month), massage with herbal fumigation treatment can be used. Generally, if the ankle ligament is sprained (without fracture or dislocation), it can be cured in time by using the above methods of treatment. Many patients with ankle sprains do not pay attention to the early stage of the sprain, or they are not treated properly, so the new injury turns into an old injury and does not heal, which seriously affects life and work.
