Bleeding of ankle fracture after elevation and putting down is related to fracture hematoma and blood circulation, which can be helped to recover by elevating the affected limb and proper exercise.
After ankle fracture due to the bleeding of the fracture site is easy to cause local hematoma, hematoma is easy to compress the surrounding blood vessels, resulting in ankle congestion. In addition, because the ankle belongs to the distal end, the blood reflux is not smooth, plus the leg is put down, which makes the reflux more difficult, so the lower limb will be congested with blood.
After ankle fracture, you can elevate the affected limb appropriately, so as to avoid the congestion and swelling of the affected limb is too serious. In addition, appropriate ankle pump training can also reduce the congestion of the lower limb.
If you suffer from congestion after ankle fracture, it is recommended that you seek medical attention to rule out thrombosis.
