The difference between a strained ligament and a broken foot

The difference between ligament strains and broken feet mainly includes the following aspects: First, the occurrence of the site is different: ligament strains can usually occur in all major joint parts of the body, while broken feet usually occur in the ankle area. Second, the degree of injury is different: ligament strains are relatively serious and need to be fixed with local braces, usually for 4-6 weeks, and in serious cases, ligament tears can occur and surgery is needed to repair the ligament tissue. The patient will have pain, swelling, and limited activity. After cold compresses, braking, rest, and elevation of the affected limb, the symptoms will soon disappear completely, and the patient will be able to resume normal life and work, and even exercise. Therefore, there is a clear difference between ligament strain and broken foot, which should be carefully distinguished and treated separately.
