Treatment of ankle avulsion fracture

I believe some friends have had such an experience, that is, ankle avulsion fracture, which often occurs after long-distance marching or long-distance running. The parts are mostly bones that bear the body weight and are often repeatedly acted upon by muscle force.

Here I will introduce its symptoms and treatment methods to you.

Symptoms: Symptoms of an ankle avulsion fracture develop gradually over the first two to three weeks. Unlike other chronic injury symptoms caused by overuse, the symptoms of ankle fractures tend to stay in the same location and are more painful. Patients usually experience forefoot pain after prolonged or strenuous exercise, which disappears after a few seconds of rest. In subsequent training, the pain occurs earlier and more severely, to the point where they cannot exercise. Touching the swollen area can cause pain, and they even feel pain while lying in bed. In the early stages of the disease, X-ray examinations usually cannot show fractures, so it is easy to miss or misdiagnose, and a follow-up examination and filming is required two weeks later; CT examinations can intuitively show the location and range of the fracture, and are also of great value for follow-up after injury; MRI examinations are of great significance for the early diagnosis of stress fractures because they can clearly show the fracture line and edema and bleeding in the medullary cavity and surrounding soft tissues.

Treatment method: 1. On the basis of good reduction and fixation, functional training should be performed as early as possible. It can promote blood circulation, reduce muscle atrophy, eliminate soft tissue swelling, prevent osteoporosis and accelerate fracture healing. Actively perform ankle joint functional exercises to avoid joint stiffness

2. Take bone peptide tablets orally, Chinese medicine, Dieda pills, bone-setting powder, or receive Chinese medicine treatment under the syndrome differentiation and treatment of local Chinese medicine practitioners. Local infrared therapy. Can promote healing

3. For diet therapy, you can use 10 grams of angelica, 15 grams of bone-healing herb, 10 grams of Dipsacus asper, and half a pound of fresh pork chops or beef ribs. Stew for more than 1 hour and eat the soup and meat together.

4. Treatment of ankle avulsion fractures includes immobilization, rest, medication, etc. Reliable external fixation treatment is conducive to fracture recovery. After the fracture heals, you should pay attention to the amount of exercise and exercise techniques according to your physical condition, do sufficient warm-up exercises, and avoid running and jumping on hard surfaces. In traditional Chinese medicine, external application of bone strengthening and repositioning patches can better promote healing and callus growth, and is suitable for patients with wound healing. Pay attention to a nutritious, balanced and comprehensive diet, and appropriately supplement with vitamin D and calcium. For patients with delayed union or nonunion, surgical treatment can be considered.

The above is the answer to ankle avulsion fracture. Maybe words cannot give you the most appropriate answer. If you have any problems, you must seek timely treatment. I hope everyone pays attention to their physical health.
