Ankle Fractures are one of the most common lower extremity fractures. These fractures can cause gross deformities and long term consequences if normal anatomy is not restored properly.
These injuries commonly associated with falls and inversion injuries. Immediate weight bearing is usually not possible due to the unstable nature of the fracture. After seeking medical attention via paramedics, they will stabilize the fracture and take you to the emergency department.
Treatment usually depends on the type of the fracture. Non weight bearing in a Boot can be a proper treatment choice for certain patient types and injuries. More often than not surgical correction is needed. This is attained by open reduction internal fixation of the fracture in which we use plates and screws to reduce the fracture and maintain its normal restored position.
Post-operatively, cast or boot is utilized to protect the extremity and patients are non weight-bearing for 4-6 weeks followed by physical therapy. Although most patients have a predictable course of recovery there are some that suffer from long term consequences of such injuries.
