Firstly, great video! Thank you! You know how most rolled ankles roll the foot inward hurting the lateral ligament.. on an aggressive football cut I rolled my inside leg the other way (over eversion as I just learned), breaking off the tip of my medial malleolus. I tried to be a tough guy and ran on it for another 10 min, HORRIBLE DECISION. Our trainers and doctors were kinda perplexed at the location of the pain/swelling. I was completely embarrassed and frustrated. After about 3 days I told them this didn’t feel like a typical sprain from the pain and upon x ray they saw the fracture. The docs recommended time and typical rehab, which worked out for the most part, but there was sometime phantom pain there for a full two years. Even after 4 years my ankle range/strength/stability is still pretty limited. If you made it this far thanks for listening to my personal anecdote, I’ll leave you with this, train your feet and ankles yall.
@@Ath-et9xm Day 3 post surgery is the worst, it just gets better from there. I didn't need painkillers after a month (just took paracetamol and ibuprofen). I'm fully healed and functional, there's still some swelling and stiffness but I can do pretty much everything as before. My advice is that you try to be as active as possible despite crutches/cast. Best of luck!
@@Ath-et9xm I was allowed partial weight bearing (walking) after 8 weeks (I'm sure it was safe to do earlier but I listened to my surgeon). 1st week I used 2 crtuches to walk, second week 1 crutch and then 0. I started physiotherapy after they removed the splint so around 4 weeks after surgery.
@ yes and because of that I had to do physical therapy to learn to walk again when I was 8. PT hurt so bad because I was walker and wheel chair for 2 whole years because they operated on me without any metal or nail and my cast was all the way up my thigh then on my second year they took that big ass cast off and gave me a smaller cast that was up to my knee
@@justice_sings thank you 🙏 from the grace of god I survived . I’m 32 now it’s been 24 years since this accident and I guess because I was so young only 7 I healed completely. I don’t even have pain I did PT so I’m walking just fine I’m so lucky all they got was my leg
Yes, very informative. I had the ORIF, Tibia Fibula and toe bone surgery with the insertion of the rod, and one nerve damage I am more clear that there are few bones that are not damaged.
lateral malleolus fracture, thats what i have. can i walk with my broken foot? and it have broken all the way trough, it has detached from my fibula. can i still walk, i have many classes ahed.
me too. I have a plaster cast on. you need to go to a doctor to get a cast for 5 weeks. I also can't walk, it hurts to walk. don't walk on it okay? because you might cause a worse break and then for sure you will need surgery.
For say a non displaced lateral malleolus fracture of the tip of the fibula, excess fluid in the syndesmosis, and thickening of the ligaments…what are the best treatments?
It depends on your fracture but anything from 4-6 months to be recover to about 60%. Within 6 weeks of surgery you can start therapy and walking with a boot. I’m about 15 weeks post surgery I’m recovering from a trimalleolar 😢 I’m in the 10% of cases so mine was bad lol
@@fooffie meaning it’s not that common of an ankle injury only 10% of people suffer from these fractures. Mainly elderly from bad falls and motorcycle accidents! Or really hard ankle twists.
@@fooffie also speedy recovery to you! I’m already walking and doing my exercises still swell up not that much pain. Get some compression socks it’ll help with swelling when you’re able to walk!
@@destroyerx2513 Yeah I am walking Thanks for the advice Is about the compression socks ISO badly want this swelling to go down they said it could take up to a year Today There's exactly 90 days since myTriple ankle break. I did read somewhere that I thought it was 7% Oh wellBest of luck to you also you have a good one.

Absolutely amazing content! I had ORIF surgery on a bimalleolar ankle fracture and was curious so this was extremely informative.
Thank you! Glad it was useful 😊
How are you now. I had the same and its day 3 post surgery and its pain and swelling

@@OriginalUsername9000 thank you. After how much days did you started walking? After removing bandage, did you do physiotherapy?

These are so helpful for finals thank you!

Just broke my ankle (medial malleolus) and the upper part of the fibula by the knee 3 nights ago
very useful, thanks a lot!
is post traumatic arthritis temporary?
I broke mines when I was 7 in the summer of 2000 . I was too young for nail so I was on a cast for 2 years
2 years!!?? Wow!
@ yes and because of that I had to do physical therapy to learn to walk again when I was 8. PT hurt so bad because I was walker and wheel chair for 2 whole years because they operated on me without any metal or nail and my cast was all the way up my thigh then on my second year they took that big ass cast off and gave me a smaller cast that was up to my knee
@ mines was so bad tho because I was ran over by a truck
@@LovelyAlice92 Oh dear, yes it sounds quite traumatic...I hope you went on to make a full recovery!
@@justice_sings thank you 🙏 from the grace of god I survived . I’m 32 now it’s been 24 years since this accident and I guess because I was so young only 7 I healed completely. I don’t even have pain I did PT so I’m walking just fine I’m so lucky all they got was my leg

Take rest for four weeks after that you can walk
For say a non displaced lateral malleolus fracture of the tip of the fibula, excess fluid in the syndesmosis, and thickening of the ligaments…what are the best treatments?
minimal splintage: a firm bandage or stirrup brace is applied mainly
for comfort until the fracture heals.
How are you now?
I fractured my lateral malleolus 3 weeks ago
How long did it took you to be fully health?
How do you find out if you fracture your ankle and what does it look like
X-rays, possible ct scan if it is your talus.
Ottawa technique: very swollen indicating bleeding/ cannot walk 4 steps or more and a third symptom.
How do you know if you fracture your ankle
Nice
Thank you ❤
Thank you sir

Trimalleolar fracture with a linsfranc injury. Has this happened to anyone else?
This is not about Ankle fractures. This video is about leg bone fractures. It doesn’t speak about the ankle bone or Talus. Should change the title.
