The best way to recover from a fractured ankle



According to the severity of ankle fracture, general treatment, medication, physical therapy and surgery can be adopted for recovery, and there is no definite best recovery method.

1. General treatment: the affected limb can be elevated and fixed by manipulation or bone traction or skin traction, and the fractured part and the surrounding joints can be externally fixed with plaster or splint to achieve firm healing.

2. Medication: Appropriate calcium supplement and anti-resorption drugs such as bisphosphonates can promote the healing of bone fracture, and ibuprofen and other drugs can be given to alleviate the pain if the pain is obvious. If the pain is obvious, give ibuprofen and other drugs to relieve the pain. Use antibiotics such as amoxicillin and penicillin as early as possible to prevent infection of open bone fracture.

3. Physical therapy: Baking electricity, microwave, infrared and other therapeutic methods can be used to promote local blood circulation, so that the fractured part of the bone can heal as soon as possible.

4. Surgery: Surgery can be performed when the above conservative treatment fails or when there are other complications such as neurovascular injury, such as incision and internal fixation.

If you suspect that your ankle is fractured, you should go to the hospital in time and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of your doctor. The above medicines should be used reasonably under the guidance of doctors, avoiding self-medication.
