Activities, such as stepping off a curb and turning your ankle, falling off your kitchen stool and twisting your ankle, and falling from a ladder and fracturing the ankle at Deltoid Calcaneus Calcaneofibular impact can cause mild to serious ankle ligament (heel bone) ligament fractures. The ankle is a ginglymus (hinge) joint that connects the foot and leg.

An ankle with ankle fractures is the articular cartilage (covering on fracture can be painful and it can keep you from doing the the ends of bones), or gristle caps. The articular cartilage in things you enjoy, so prompt diagnosis and treatment is the ankle can withstand multiple times a body’s weight necessary.

Although there are multiple ways of describing ankle fractures and no two fractures are exactly alike, the most important aspect of how we treat your ankle fracture depends on whether the ankle fracture is stable or unstable. The “stability” of the ankle is often determined by whether or not there is an injury to the ankle syndesmosis (the joint between the tibia and fibula). Your treatment plan will be dictated partly by whether or not this is injury which is evaluated intraoperatively at the time of surgery. There are two basic types of ankle fractures: 1) High Energy Axial Injuries: Pilon 2) Rotational Injuries: - Malleolar – either medial or lateral - Bimalleolar – both medial and lateral - Trimalleolar – includes posterior malleolus The goal of treatment is to maximize the long term function of the ankle by restoring and maintaining alignment. If surgery is not required then patients may be treated with closed reduction and immobilization in the form of a splint, cast, pneumatic walker, or air splint. If surgery required then patients may be treated with open reduction and internal fixation. The amount of weightbearing allowed is based on the quality of the fixation, quality of the bone and the healing status of the fracture. If the fixation is secure and stable, the expectation is for the patient to begin early AROM once the wounds are healed ~ two weeks status post.

  • Physiotherapy Following Your Ankle Fracture
    Physiotherapy following your ankle fracture This leaflet has been given to you to assist you in returning back to normal following your fractured ankle. If you have any queries after reading it, please discuss with your physiotherapist or contact the physiotherapy department on 0118 322 7812 Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm. What is an ankle fracture? • A fracture is the same as a break. • The broken bone often occurs in just the fibula (the thinner bone on the outside of your lower leg). The break may be below, at the same level or above your ankle joint. These fractures may be referred to as a Weber fracture and are classified as A, B or C dependent on the site of the break (see below). • Occasionally the tibia (the thicker bone in your lower leg may also be involved. Weber fractures of the ankle. How is it treated? • Most fractures will heal themselves but do need a period of protected immobilisation to allow this healing to occur. • Occasionally your ankle may need to be manipulated prior to being immobilised to ensure it heals in the correct position. • Your ankle may be immobilised in a plaster cast or a boot. This usually lasts for up to six weeks but may be shorter or longer depending how well healing occurs. • Occasionally your ankle may require surgery to stabilise the fracture with pins and plates. • While the plaster is on, it is important to keep your toes and knees moving to prevent them becoming stiff. Physiotherapy following your ankle fracture, August 2021 1 Physiotherapy Department / Physiotherapy following your ankle fracture • When your consultant thinks you are ready the plaster cast will be removed and you can then start to move your ankle.

  • Ankle Fracture
    NHS Forth Valley Ankle Fracture Patient Information Leaflet Introduction l A fracture is the same as a break. l A simple fracture will be treated in a plaster. l More complicated fractures may be fixed with pins and plates. Bones of the Tibia Foot and Ankle Fibula Navicular Metatarsals Talus Cuneiforms Phalanges Cuboid Calcaneus 2 What should I expect when my plaster is taken off? 1. SKIN CHANGES – dry skin, colour changes and increased hair growth. 2. STIFFNESS – because your ankle has been held in one position by the plaster for a period of time. 3. SWELLING – your foot and ankle will be swollen, this may increase at the end of the day or if you have been upright too long. 4. DISCOMFORT – you may feel more pain as you begin to move and walk on your ankle. This is normal and will ease. The above symptoms can restrict your walking initially. You may require to continue using a stick or crutches. You will be advised on this. 3 What should I do to help these symptoms? 5. ELEVATION – keep your leg elevated when you are not walking. Support your leg with pillows/cushions; make sure your foot is above the level of your hip. Doing your exercises in this position reduces swelling. 6. COMPRESSION – You may have been given tubigrip to use on your ankle/foot during the day. Make sure there are no wrinkles. Take it off at night. 7. DRY SKIN/EXCESSIVE HAIR GROWTH – wash the foot/ankle with warm water. Use a bland moisturiser (aqueous cream) for the first few days.

Fusing a Lisfranc joint after a dislocation makes no physiologic sense • A Lisfranc injury is a ligamentous injury with or without associated fractures The Weak Argument to Fuse a Lisfranc is based on one study • Forty-one patients in prospective, randomized clinical trial comparing primary arthrodesis with ORIF • Patients followed for average of 42.5 months Evaluation was performed with clinical examination, radiography, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Midfoot Scale, a visual analog pain scale, and a clinical questionnaire The Weak Argument to Fuse a Lisfranc is based on one study • Twenty patients-ORIF and 21-Fusion • Two years postop, mean AOFAS Midfoot score was 68.6 points in ORIF and 88 points in the arthrodesis
