The time for the swelling of dorsum of foot fracture to go down completely needs to be judged according to the degree of fracture damage, if the damage is mild, the swelling can go down within 2 weeks, if the damage is more serious, the time will be prolonged. Dorsum of foot fracture generally refers to metatarsal fracture, fracture damage to soft tissue can occur aseptic inflammation, redness, swelling, heat, pain and other symptoms. If the metatarsal fracture is not displaced, it can be moved down to the ground through localized braking for 3~4 weeks. During the period of braking, the patient can be iced or elevated at an early stage in order to reduce the swelling, and the swelling can be reduced within 2 weeks in general. If the fracture end is displaced, it needs to be fixed with plaster or internal fixation after manipulation or surgery, and the patient should be elevated to reduce the edema after surgery. For displaced fracture, or even open fracture with infected wound, the reduction of swelling may be delayed and prolonged. Usually the swelling may not subside until the wound is treated and the fracture has healed. If a dorsal foot fracture is diagnosed, early and standardized treatment is recommended to minimize the adverse effects of the disease.
