Strash Foot & Ankle Care Is your ankle sprained or broken? How to tell if you have a broken ankle.

Depending on the type and severity of the ankle fracture, surgery to the area may or may not be required. Initially, the area should be treated with R.I.C.E., rest, ice, compression and elevation. Once evaluated by your foot and ankle surgeon further treatment will be decided. Certain fractures are treated by protecting and restricting the ankle and foot in a cast, fracture boot or splint. Immobilization will allow the bone to heal.
