Ankle Fractures: Assessment, Treatment & Recovery
An ankle fracture is a break in one or more bones around the ankle. Treatment depends on fracture pattern, stability, skin condition and overall health.
What we assess and consider
Prompt examination and X-rays; reduction, immobilisation or surgery may be recommended depending on alignment and stability; follow-up checks monitor healing.
Common reasons for assessment
- Pain, swelling or bruising after a twist or fall
- Difficulty bearing weight
- Visible deformity or an open wound after injury
