What Does Ankle Fracture Fixation Treat?
An ankle fracture is a serious injury that requires immediate medical attention. X-rays are taken to determine the severity and location of the fracture. Fractures that cannot heal on their own and/or change the anatomy and function of the ankle joint require surgical intervention. Accidents, injuries, falls, and direct blows may cause ankle fractures. Symptoms that typically present include the following:
Bruising
Difficulty weight-bearing
Pain

Tenderness
