Inability to hook the foot due to Achilles fracture may be caused by tendon adhesion, joint stiffness, localized swelling and pain, etc. Depending on the cause of the fracture, daily exercise and surgical treatment should be chosen to alleviate the symptoms.
1. Tendon adhesion: Bleeding fracture stimulation or long-term inactivity may lead to tendon adhesion and affect the function of the tendon, which leads to the patient’s inability to hook the foot. The symptoms can be relieved by proper exercise to restore the function of the tendon, and if necessary, tendon adhesion release surgery can be performed according to the doctor’s instructions.
2. Joint stiffness: After the fracture of the heel bone, a period of braking is usually needed to promote the recovery of the fracture site, which results in the joint not being able to move for a long period of time, resulting in joint stiffness, which leads to the symptom of not being able to hook the foot. Flexion and extension exercises can be strengthened appropriately to improve the mobility of the joints, thus relieving the symptoms.
3. Local swelling and pain: Achilles fracture may lead to subcutaneous tissue damage and bleeding, after bleeding, the accumulation of blood to form a subcutaneous hematoma, resulting in edema and pain in the surrounding local tissues, and then hooking the foot will be limited by pain and edema. Patients can elevate the affected limb above the heart to promote blood flow to reduce edema, and at the same time, local massage or hot compresses to promote the dissipation of bruises, and then reduce the symptoms.
After the symptoms of heel bone fracture can not hook the foot should be timely medical diagnosis, clear cause of the disease and follow the doctor’s instructions, to avoid delaying the condition.
