An ankle fracture is a common injury that refers to a fracture in one or more of these bones as a result of a fall or impact. The fracture can sometimes result in dislocation of the ankle too. Specific treatment depends on the injury itself. While it may often be obvious that you've fractured your ankle, sometimes the symptoms are milder and you think its just a sprain. Its always worth seeing an expert to set your mind at rest. Symptoms include: - pain - swelling - bruising which may extend into the foot - finding it difficult to move your foot or stand on it - skin damage in severe injuries Learn more at : https://bit.ly/2WF7eQi You can learn more about Andrew Goldberg at : https://bit.ly/2XFszW5 Connect with HCA Healthcare UK : Subscribe on Youtube : http://ow.ly/NoDX30nBpe0 Join us on Facebook : https://bit.ly/2ZFfeib Follow on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2Vkz2YP Connect with us on Linkedin: https://bit.ly/2DDko4O
