Ankle Fracture :
The ankle joint has three bones, and if any of these bones become cracked or break completely, it is said that the individual has an ankle fracture. Ankle fractures usually happen when the ankle is twisted beyond the normal range during activities such as running. The ankles can also break due to a high-force impact due to a fall or an accident. When an ankle breaks, it causes pain and swelling in the area that may extend till the knee. The pain tends to increase when the person puts weight on the ankle. Broken ankles are diagnosed using X-ray scans. However, an MRI or a CT scan may be required to reveal the extent of the injury. The treatment of an ankle fracture depends on the severity of the fracture. The goal of the treatment is to ensure that the bone heals in the correct alignment. If the fracture is mild, then a splint or short leg cast may be enough to heal the bone correctly. However, if the fracture is severe, then a surgeon may need to use plates and screws to ensure correct healing.
