Top-Notch Care From Our Expert Team
If you’ve suffered an injury to your ankle and are experiencing pain, swelling, redness, or bruising, you may have an ankle fracture. Dr. Nick and Dr. Bernatsky are highly trained and experienced specialists for treating ankle fractures in the Upper East Side, NY. During your initial examination, we can help determine whether your injury is an ankle sprain or ankle fracture and recommend the best course of action to ensure that your ankle heals without complications.
Symptoms of an Ankle Fracture
An ankle fracture may cause some of the following issues:
- Throbbing pain
- Pain and difficulty walking on the affected foot
- Bruising of the ankle
- Swelling of the ankle
- Ankle deformity
Frequently, fractured or broken ankles may be mistaken for a simple ankle sprain, which leads to improper healing, poor treatment outcomes, and ankle instability. That's why it's important that you visit our office if you injure your ankle — we can determine if you have a sprain or a fracture and recommend the proper treatment plan to get you back on your feet.
Causes of Fractures
Ankle fractures occur when your ankle is pushed beyond its limits and the ankle joint is damaged. Fractures can occur simultaneously with ankle sprains (damaged ligaments and tendons in the ankle). Some common scenarios that cause ankle fractures include:
- Jumping from a high level
- Overextending the joint
- Twisting the ankle, tripping, or falling
Do You Need Surgery?
While simple fractures can sometimes be treated without surgery, if you have a serious injury, surgery may be necessary to ensure proper healing and function of the ankle joint. During your initial examination, we will thoroughly discuss your treatment options and educate you to decide upon the best course of treatment for your unique case.
