Ankle Fracture Surgery in
Lahore For Stable, Pain-Free Walking
An ankle fracture occurs when one or more bones of the ankle joint break due to trauma or excessive force. Casting is commonly used to treat most fractures. But if a fracture is complicated, it needs advanced surgical care to restore proper alignment and function.
At Bones Cure in Lahore, Dr Waqas Javed performs ankle fracture surgery using modern orthopedic techniques. He successfully realigns your broken ankle bones, using high-standard orthopedic equipment, including plates, screws, and rods. Our main goal is to provide easier and faster healing for our patients.
Signs & Symptoms
of a Fractured or Broken Ankle
Your ankle pain can be more than a sprain. If you experience the following symptoms after an injury, it may indicate an ankle fracture. Ignoring these signs can cause long-term complications. You should immediately consult an orthopedic specialist in the following conditions:
- If you feel severe ankle pain after an injury or fall
- If there is swelling around your ankle and foot
- If your ankle has bruising or there is skin discoloration around the ankle
- If you feel difficulty walking or standing
- If you are unable to bear weight on the ankle
- If there is a visible deformity or abnormal angle
- If your ankle is stiff and its movement is restricted
- If your ankle pain worsens with any movement or touch
Types of Ankle Fractures and Dislocated Ankle Conditions
Ankle fractures are of different types. Every fracture needs a different treatment based on its severity. Dr. Waqas Javed makes a
surgical decision based on fracture type, stability, and joint alignment. Here are the types of fractures with the treatments that are handled by our expert at Bones Cure. These types are based on the ankle bones involved:
Lateral Malleolus Fracture
It is the fracture of your outer ankle bone. It is treated with a cast or brace if it is stable. You will have to be cautious for 6 to 8 weeks, and you will recover.
Medial malleolus Fracture
When the inner ankle is fractured and displaced, the surgeon treats it with surgery. Otherwise, you only need a cast to heal such fractures. Such a fracture requires care for 8 to 12 weeks.
Bimalleolar Fracture
If both sides of your ankle are broken, it's a bimalleolar fracture. It is mostly treated through surgery. Dr Waqas Javed uses special plates and screws to fix the broken ankle. The estimated recovery time is 12-16 weeks.
Trimalleolar Fracture
It is a severe injury of the ankle involving three bones. This ankle fracture takes months to recover. Surgery must be done by an experienced surgeon, because this fracture needs to be precisely handled. Recovery takes 4 to 6 months, and you will have to be cautious during this time.
Clinical Classification of Ankle Fractures
Fractures of the ankle are also divided based on severity and type of break. This is the clinical classification of ankle fractures, and it includes the following types:
Nondisplaced
Bones are broken but still in the correct position and alignment. Also called a stable ankle fracture. It might need a cast or boot for proper healing. Rest and physiotherapy are advised by Dr. Waqas, and you can recover in 6 to 8 weeks.
Displaced
Fractured portions of bone are separated or misaligned. The treatment will be based on fracture alignment and stability of the ankle. It is an unstable fracture, and you need a longer time to recover (3 to 6 months).
Open Fracture
If the fractured bone breaks through the skin, it is an open fracture. It needs immediate and expert surgical treatment. It also requires a long time to recover.
Closed Fracture
In this type, the skin does not tear, and the fracture stays within the skin. Although it is also a serious fracture and needs medical attention, it heals faster than an open fracture.
Stress Fracture
It is a tiny crack in a bone that is caused by repetitive stress or overuse. Stress fractures commonly occur in weight-bearing bones of the foot and lower leg. Pain due to this fracture increases with activity. You also feel tenderness and sometimes swelling. Its treatment involves rest (6-12 weeks) and immobilization (cast/boot).
Your Ankle Injury Treatment Journey From Fracture to Full Recovery
Ankle fracture recovery varies depending on the type of fracture you have. Recovery is also affected by the severity of your fracture and overall health. Stable ankle fractures recover faster than complicated fractures. Open fractures heal slowly. Here is a breakdown of the ankle fracture recovery periods:
Stable and Minor Fractures
The stable and minor fractures are treated with a cast/walking boot. The doctor will advise you to undergo physiotherapy. You can recover in 6-8 weeks from minor fractures.
Moderate Fractures
It includes the medial malleolus and stable bimalleolar fractures. They can be treated with a cast. Sometimes, surgery might be needed if they are displaced. You may take 8 to 12 weeks to heal completely, and rehabilitation is advised by your doctor.
Severe Fractures
If you have a bimalleolar, trimalleolar, or a displaced fracture, it needs special attention. These severe fractures are treated through surgery. Only an expert orthopedic surgeon can handle them. Severe fractures also need structured physiotherapy. They recover in a longer time period i-e; 3 to 6 months.
Open Fractures
These are the most complex fractures, also called compound fractures. They need emergency surgery. Infection risk is higher in such infections, and they require an expert surgeon to deal with them. They have the longest recovery period. They need extensive care and healing for 6 to 9 months.
Proper care and rehabilitation help your ankle to heal faster. You can regain ankle mobility and strengthen your muscles. Furthermore, the chances of arthritis are minimized because of timely treatment. So get expert help and improve the balance and coordination of your ankles.
