What to do about high insteps caused by trauma

High dorsum of foot caused by trauma is considered to be caused by soft tissue injury and fracture, and is often treated by general treatment, physical therapy, medication, surgery and other ways. 1. Trauma can cause local soft tissue injury on the lateral side of the foot, rupture of small blood vessels, damage to the reflux vein, local inflammatory material exudation, swelling on the lateral side of the foot, resulting in dorsal elevation of the foot. It is recommended to take rest in the early stage of trauma, apply local cold compresses within 72 hours and hot compresses after 72 hours, and apply local massage, physiotherapy (infrared ray), anti-swelling drugs (Panax ginseng tablets, Yunnan Baiyao spray) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs (such as ibuprofen). 2. For dorsalis pedis caused by post-traumatic fracture, if there is no obvious displacement of the fracture end, early attempts can be made to manipulate the restoration, and the local swelling will be reduced after the success. If manipulation fails, or if the fracture is comminuted and cannot be manipulated, local plaster fixation and oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., ibuprofen) can be applied, and surgery can be performed after the swelling is reduced. Post-traumatic dorsalis pedis is recommended to actively seek medical attention, standardized treatment under the guidance of a physician, drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
