Broken Ankle Picture

Complete list of fracture information

The ankle is made up of three bones which are the tibia and the fibula of
the lower leg and the talus that is at the top of the foot. A broken ankle
is a crack or break in any of these three bones. The picture above points
out a break in the fibula on the left side and a break in the tibia on the
left. Breaks in more than one of the bones is unusual and are cause most
often by serious trauma to the ankle.

If your Broken Ankle involves only one of the bones. Usually
the bones are still lined up and can be treated by casting for around eight
weeks.

If you have more extensive damage to your ankle, or the
fragments of broken bone are separated far from one another, your doctor
will repair your fractured ankle surgically with special screws or wires.
