What is an ankle fracture?
An ankle fracture is an injury that affects one or more bones in the ankle joint area - the tibia, fibula or talus. This condition usually occurs with falls, twists or direct blows and can cause swelling, pain and difficulty stepping on the foot. After proper treatment and possibly surgical intervention, rehabilitation is the key to recovery.
Symptoms of ankle fracture:
- Pain: Often acute and impeding all movement.
- Swelling: The ankle looks bigger and tense.
- Sinini: The area around the trauma may be discolored.
- Obstructed movement: Walking or even minimal leg loading becomes almost impossible.
- Deformation: With more serious fractures, the ankle may appear twisted.
How can we help you at Office Therapy?
Recovery after an ankle fracture is a combination of proper movement, strengthening, and care to restore normal joint function. That's what our approach involves:
- Passive mobilization: In the early stage after the cast (or orthosis) is removed, we work on restoring mobility to the ankle joint through gentle movements.
- Stretching exercises: They help to gradually regain flexibility and prevent stiffness in the joint.
- Strengthening the muscles: Specially designed exercises for the ankles, calves and leg muscles help restore stability and strength.
- Balance and coordination: We work on re-training the muscles and nervous system to adapt to the movements, which is essential to prevent future injuries.
- Massage and manual therapy: Through massage, we relieve muscle tension, improve blood circulation and support the recovery of the soft tissues around the ankle.
- Physiotherapy with devices: If necessary, we use techniques such as ultrasound therapy, laser or electrical stimulation to reduce swelling and promote healing.
What is the forecast?
With proper rehabilitation, an ankle fracture usually heals completely within 2-4 months, depending on the severity of the injury. It is important to be patient and persistent - recovery can take time, but the right approach speeds up this process considerably. В Office Therapy work to get your confidence back on the move and prevent future problems.
