Medication: Medication is for severe pain after fracture. Non-steroidal painkillers such as ibuprofen and celecoxib can be applied to treat the fracture, and drugs to reduce local tissue edema such as Mai Zhi Ling can also be taken orally. Anticoagulant drugs such as rivaroxaban are also needed to prevent venous thrombosis in the lower limbs. 3. Physiotherapy: Cold compresses can be applied in the early stage of injury to reduce local bleeding and pain symptoms. In the later stage, physical therapy such as hot compresses and baking electricity can be applied to promote local blood circulation, which can facilitate the recovery of the fracture. 4. Surgery: Surgery is mainly used for unstable tibiofibular fracture with important blood vessel and nerve injury, or poorly manipulated and repositioned, in which case surgery is needed to repair the damaged tissues and effective internal fixation.
