What Are the Treatments for Ankle Fractures?
A fracture is a partial or complete break in a bone. According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, a fractured ankle means that one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint has separated into pieces. There may be ligaments damaged as well. Most ankle fractures require urgent medical care. Without appropriate treatment, many fractures will not heal properly or will have unnecessary complications.
