Ankle fractures are one of the most common injuries affecting people of all ages. They occur when one or more of the bones that form the ankle joint break, often due to trauma, sports injuries, falls, or accidents. Ankle fractures can range from simple cracks that heal with immobilization to complex fractures requiring surgical intervention.
Severe pain and swelling around the ankle
Bruising and tenderness
Difficulty or inability to bear weight
Visible deformity in severe cases
Limited range of motion
Twisting or rolling the ankle during sports or exercise
Falls from a height
Direct impact or trauma
Osteoporosis or weak bones increasing fracture risk
At KS Ortho Care, our specialists perform a thorough physical examination and recommend imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI to assess the type and severity of the fracture. Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment and recovery.
Non-Surgical Treatment: For stable fractures, immobilization using casts, splints, or braces allows bones to heal naturally. Pain management and physiotherapy are integral to recovery.
Surgical Treatment: Complex or unstable fractures may require surgical fixation with plates, screws, or pins to restore proper alignment and joint function.
Rehabilitation: Post-treatment physiotherapy helps regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion to prevent long-term complications.
