Ankle Fracture and Ankle Fracture Dislocation<\/h2>\n

Lateral Malleolus Fracture<\/h2>\n

What is a Lateral Malleolus Fracture?<\/h3>\n

The lateral malleolus fracture<\/strong> is one of the most common bone fractures in humans. In this type of ankle fracture, the lowest tip of the fibula breaks off.<\/p>\n

What are the Causes of a Lateral Malleolus Fracture?<\/h3>\n

The most common cause for this type of ankle fracture is a twisting<\/strong> of the foot. Sports involving sudden stopping movements, especially soccer and tennis, pose a risk for a lateral malleolus fracture. Generally, this injury occurs more frequently in older individuals than in younger ones.<\/p>\n

How is a Lateral Malleolus Fracture Treated?<\/h3>\n

This ankle fracture can be quickly diagnosed with the help of an X-ray examination<\/strong>. If the joint-bearing part of the lateral malleolus is fractured and displaced, surgery is necessary. During the operation, the fracture is reduced and then fixed with a plate. After the surgery, a removable splint is worn for 6 weeks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Is Physiotherapy Necessary after Ankle Fracture Surgery?<\/h3>\n

Physiotherapy is always advisable to rebuild the musculature and optimally support the healing process.<\/p>\n

Medial Malleolus Fracture<\/h2>\n

What is a Medial Malleolus Fracture?<\/h3>\n

A medial malleolus fracture is an injury to the lower inner end of the tibia.
\nThe lower leg is formed by two adjacent long bones: the tibia and the fibula.<\/p>\n

What are the Causes of a Medial Malleolus Fracture?<\/h3>\n

A medial malleolus fracture often occurs as a result of a fall, dislocation, or a blow to the lower leg or ankle joint. Sports involving a lot of running or jumping pose an increased risk. On the other hand, this fracture can occur due to excessive athletic activity; in this case, it is referred to as a stress fracture. Very often, a medial malleolus fracture occurs in combination with other injuries, as it requires a very high impact force.<\/p>\n

How is a Medial Malleolus Fracture Treated?<\/h3>\n

If the fracture is displaced, surgery is strongly recommended. The bone fragments are fixed with screws or wires.<\/p>\n

Is Physiotherapy Necessary after Ankle Fracture Surgery?<\/h3>\n

Physiotherapy is definitely recommended to build up the musculature. However, it can take several weeks until the muscle strength of the lower leg and calf is fully restored.<\/p>\n

Ankle Fracture Dislocation<\/h2>\n

What is an Ankle Fracture Dislocation?<\/h3>\n

An ankle fracture dislocation occurs when the talus is displaced relative to the ankle mortise.<\/p>\n

What are the Causes of an Ankle Fracture Dislocation?<\/h3>\n

The cause of an ankle fracture dislocation is an external rotation of the foot relative to the lower leg. This usually occurs in fast-paced sports such as soccer, handball, or volleyball.<\/p>\n

How is an Ankle Fracture Dislocation Treated?<\/h3>\n

If the fracture is displaced, surgery is strongly recommended. The bone fragments are fixed with screws, plates, and wires.<\/p>\n

Is Physiotherapy Necessary after Ankle Surgery?<\/h3>\n

Physiotherapy is necessary to rebuild the musculature around the ankle joint and to optimally support the healing process.<\/p>\n
