A minor fracture of the extreme end of the external ankle can be managed by plaster immobilization, surgical treatment and functional exercises.
1. Plaster immobilization: If the fracture is not obviously displaced, the affected area can be immobilized in plaster, so that the bone will grow and heal slowly.
2. Surgery: even the slightest fracture at the end of the ankle may have localized bruising and swelling. Once the fracture is obviously displaced, it is better to carry out surgery in time to clean up the surrounding damaged tissues and carry out anatomical repositioning of the bones, and if necessary, internal titanium nails can be considered for fixation.
3. Functional exercise: If the fracture site grows well and the symptoms such as pain and limitation of activity gradually decrease, regular functional exercise can be carried out under the guidance of doctor to promote the recovery of the affected area’s motor function.
After the slightest fracture of the ankle, it is necessary to go to the doctor in time for X-ray or CT examination to clarify the damage, and go to the hospital as soon as possible to receive regular treatment, and at the same time, it is also necessary to actively rest in bed and strengthen the nutrition.
